At Underwood Primary School, everyone knows Miss Nettleberry as the strictest, most feared teacher in the building. With a reputation for giving detention instead of praise, her icy demeanor has earned her the disdain of her students. But when she mysteriously disappears on the first day of the new school year, her class can hardly contain their excitement-until a peculiar substitute teacher named Mr. Thorne arrives.
While he seems friendly enough, Mr. Thorne's odd habits and cryptic references to magic spark curiosity among the students. As they uncover the truth about their new teacher, they realize that he may not be what he seems, and that danger lurks in the shadows of their beloved school. With whispers of an ancient spell hidden within the walls, the students must band together to stop a dark force threatening to emerge.
As chaos unfolds, secrets begin to unravel, and alliances are tested. When Miss Nettleberry unexpectedly returns, the students learn she has her own mysterious past intertwined with magic. But can they trust her, or is she the very sorceress they've been warned about? With bravery, teamwork, and a little bit of mischief, Jill and her classmates must navigate a world of enchantment, facing challenges that will test their courage and trust in one another.
Will they be able to thwart the true villain lurking in the school, or will darkness consume their beloved Underwood Primary?
Chatoyant College reopens in the fall with a very changed landscape. Faeries all over now disdain to hide themselves with glamours. The students who remain are the brave, the desperate, and the knowing. The professors do their best to arm them with the knowledge they need, but sometimes their best isn't good enough. Corrie, Edie, and Dawn think they know what to expect from their supernatural school, but even they are not always prepared for what happens when Roe's visions come to light.
This time, it's Annie who is most affected as something disturbs her sleep, waking her at all hours of the night and exhausting her. At the same time, she must reckon with seeing the last person she would ever expect-or want-to see at the front of her magic classroom... as well as seeking the courage to open her heart.
Her friends want to rescue her, as they did once before, but some traps are not made to be escaped.
