Every century, when the Veil between the living and the dead begins to thin, a chosen few are summoned to the Academy. Hidden deep in the mist-covered highlands, the Veil Academy is no ordinary school-it is the last barrier between life and the restless shadows that hunger to break free. Selene Ashcroft never asked to be chosen. Gifted-and cursed-with uncontrollable elemental power, she can summon storms and shape fire, but every surge of magic threatens to consume her. Among students who walk through dreams, bind blood, and wield shards of the Veil itself, Selene must learn to master her volatile gifts before they destroy her and everyone around her. But the Veil is unraveling faster than ever before. Spirits are escaping. Nightmares walk the halls. And an ancient prophecy warns that one of the Academy's students will either mend the Veil... or shatter it forever. As secrets of the school's past unravel and loyalties are tested, Selene and her friends must decide how much of themselves they are willing to sacrifice to protect both the living and the dead. The Veil Academy is waiting. And the shadows are already watching. #WITWcontest

Nineteen Eighty-Four, often published as 1984, is a dystopian novel published in 1949 by English author George Orwell. The novel is set in Airstrip One, formerly Great Britain, a province of the superstate Oceania, whose residents are victims of perpetual war, omnipresent government surveillance and public manipulation. Oceania's political ideology, euphemistically named English Socialism (shortened to "Ingsoc" in Newspeak, the government's invented language that will replace English or Oldspeak) is enforced by the privileged, elite Inner Party. Via the "Thought Police", the Inner Party persecutes individualism and independent thinking, which are regarded as "thoughtcrimes".

Animal Farm is an allegorical novella by George Orwell, first published in England on 17 August 1945. According to Orwell, the book reflects events leading up to the Russian Revolution of 1917 and then on into the Stalinist era of the Soviet Union. Orwell wrote the book between November 1943 and February 1944, when the UK was in its wartime alliance with the Soviet Union and the British people and intelligentsia held Stalin in high esteem. It became a great commercial success when it did appear partly because international relations were transformed as the wartime alliance gave way to the Cold War. Time magazine chose the book as one of the 100 best English-language novels (1923 to 2005). It also featured at number 31 on the Modern Library List of Best 20th-Century Novels. It won a Retrospective Hugo Award in 1996, and is included in the Great Books of the Western World selection.
