A murder mystery set in a school for wizards. When apprentice wizard Adramal moves to a new school to complete her training, she discovers that several ritual murders have been committed by magic, threatening the fabric of the world. The evidence points to the killer being one of Adramal's teachers, and the City Watch recruit her to go undercover to unmask the murderer. Can she find what she needs before the killer strikes again or - worse - without blowing her cover and putting her own life in danger? This book was one of four finalists in the May 2015 #Wattpad4 contest. The judges said, "I was pulled into the story from the start. It delivers what it says with a strong premise and threat-filled plot." Three further books in the series, Plague & Poison, Dust & Water, and Stone & Silence, are on sale. The whole series is available in ebook, paperback and audiobook, read by the author. Search for "Steven J Pemberton" on Amazon, Apple, Audible or Barnes & Noble, or visit http://www.pembers.net/books.html for other retailers. (This book was posted on wattpad.com. If you are reading it on another site, it was probably put there without my permission, by someone who was too stupid to remove this notice. Please go to Wattpad to read the original book.)

After seventeen years of not quite fitting in, everything is about to change for Noel. With monsters, gods, cars and impromptu prophecies, this is the first time Noel is getting a taste of life - and maybe a little romance. Just a bit. A two part adventure of a seventeen year old seer, thrown into a new world that she has always been on the cusp of. Cover by Lovingmng - thanks so much, it's beautiful! {Just because I think I need to make it really clear -- this IS NOT a Percy Jackson fanfiction. I thought of this idea around 8 years ago, before I read Percy Jackson and I had had a class on Greek Myths and Cassandra the seer. However I also am a great lover of the Percy Jackson series. Any similarities are a coincidence of my own mind making connections to a book series I haven't read in around 3 years. So sorry if there's been any confusion, I didn't mean for there to be. I hope you enjoy the book.}
