When penniless Ana arrives at the gates of the gloomy city of Eldrath - soaked, without references and with nothing but her sharp tongue as a weapon - she hopes only for a warm meal and a roof over her head. Instead, she finds herself as a servant in the household of the mysterious Blackwell family, where every glance could be a warning and every courtesy a threat. But the real danger lurks in the Academy of Eldrath. Students are disappearing. Ancient magic stirs in the foundations of the city. And Ana - the outsider, the nobody, the survivor from the slums - seems to be the key to a secret that the old families have guarded for generations. Between the poisonous intrigues of the nobility, her awakening affection for Judy Blackwell, and the shadows that fall over the Academy, Ana must learn that in Eldrath, only those who break the rules survive - or those who rewrite them.
