Emory might be a student at the prestigious Aldryn College for Lunar Magics, but her healing abilities have always been mediocre at bestuntil a treacherous night in the Dovermere sea caves leaves a group of her classmates dead and her as the only survivor. Now Emory is plagued by strange, impossible powers that no healer should possess.
Powers that would ruin her life if the wrong person were to discover them.
To gain control of these new abilities, Emory enlists the help of the schools most reclusive student, Baza boy already well-versed in the deadly nature of darker magic, whose sister happened to be one of the drowned students and Emorys best friend. Determined to find the truth behind the drownings and the cult-like secret society shes convinced her classmates were involved in, Emory is faced with even more questions when the supposedly drowned students start washing ashore aliveonly for them each immediately to die horrible, magical deaths.
And Emory is not the only one seeking answers. When her new magic captures the societys attention, she finds herself drawn into their world of privilege and power, all while wondering if the truth shes searching for might lead her right back to Dovermereto face the fate she was never meant to escape.
Pascale Lacelle is a French Canadian author from Ottawa, Ontario. A longtime devourer of books, she started writing her own at age thirteen and quickly became enthralled by the magic of words. After earning her bachelors degree in French literature, she realized the English language is where her literary heart lies (but dont tell any of her French professors that). When not lost in stories, shes most likely daydreaming about food and travel, playing with her dog Roscoe, or trying to curate the perfect playlist for every mood.
