New York Times bestsellers P.C. Cast and
Kristin Cast return with a new duology set in a dark and magickal world filled
with incredible danger and irresistible romance.
Wren Nightingale isn't supposed to have any powers. Born of magickal parents
but not under a moon sign, she was destined for life as a Mundane—right up
until she starts glowing on her eighteenth birthday. In a heartbeat, Wren's
life is turned upside down, and she's suddenly leaving her home for the
mystical Academia de la Luna—a secret magickal school on a hidden island off
the Seattle coast.
Lee Young has always known about his future at the Academia. He has one goal:
pass the trials, impress the Moon Council, and uphold his family's reputation.
But he wasn't expecting to be attending alongside the girl he's been secretly
in love with for as long as he can remember.
As Wren and Lee are thrown into the Academie's gruelling trials, they quickly
learn there's something different--and dangerous--about the school this year.
Wren will have to navigate a web of secrets, prophecies--and murder. And Lee
will have to decide who to protect--his family's legacy, or the girl he loves.
My Review: Love, love, love this new series!
I've loved these ladies since I discovered
their House of Night series. Since then, I've been hook, line and sinker
for everything that's come since.
Any who, Wren is just a normal girl. She is prepared to spend her life with books and take over her uncles book shop one day. Until then, it's the night before her 18th birthday and she's spending it with Lee, her favorite person.
Pay no mind to what she was doing that night. But when the time hit and she became 18, Wren started to glow. Like the I've got magic in me and now what the heck is happening to me all wrapped in the same moment.
Wren never had an inkling of magic and suddenly she does and goes from boring normal life with her uncles to being sent to a summer school with Lee where they will learn about their magic, attend trials and much more.
Now, at this point, I'm already hooked. Now once the trials starts, a death occurs and then the intrigue keeps you there when Wren finally figures out who/what she is.
That is until she overhears the Dean and Leader of the Moon council talking. Well more kind of like an unofficial wasn't supposed to hear kind of warning.
From there, you can't help it. You read on and next thing you know it's over and your begging for the next book.
I love this book and can already see this series becoming a favorite of mine. These ladies know what they are doing and with every book they release, I'm reminded of why I'm such a huge fan of them.
