Return to Ferns School for Wayward Fae where students are part human and part magical. In book 2 of this peculiar series, one demifae girl discovers that Death itself has Ferns students in sight and the fate of the whole school is looking grim.
A girl whos trapped in another realm. Her school, full of the peculiarly magical. And a hunt for Death itself
The month leading up to ones thirteenth birthday can be exciting, but rarely does that thrill come in the form of a perilous chase. Nearly thirteen-year-old Rosemary Thorpe is on the run from a wicked statue come-to-life as she fights to discover whats happening with the fae courts. She can see the future and right now, its looking grim.
Out of nowhere, legions of mushrooms threaten to overwhelm Ferns School for Wayward Fae. Someone tries to drown all the plants in the greenhouse. And as Rosemary searches for answers, it becomes clearer that something sinister is after the students and their curious gifts and its closer than she might think.
