Sixteen-year-old Elara Vance is a quiet, pure-blood bookworm from America, completely out of her element when she's transferred to Djaruwan Academy, a school of raw magic in the Australian outback. She's shockingly sorted into House Akurra, the house of wisdom and intuition, a role she feels she's completely wrong for. But her transfer wasn't random. A fanatical teacher, secretly part of a dark cult called "The Purest Sun," has plans for the school-and for Elara. A deadly magical convergence lies hidden beneath the academy, and Elara's bloodline is the key to unleashing it. In a race against time, Elara must unite with a kind Muggle-born, a loyal Marlu, and the arrogant Wirrin rival who seems to hate her. To save her new home, the girl who always hid in the library must embrace her new powers and become the guardian she was destined to be.
