In Legacy Hills, truth doesn't just set you free. It hunts you down. Morgan Welkin has officially survived the placement trials. Earning the title of a Skyhart Vanguard at the prestigious, enigmatic Shujaa Guild should have been her ultimate victory. But as she steps through the gilded, phoenix-carved gates of Ashbrook Lyceum, Morgan realizes that her trials haven't ended-they've simply evolved. Thrust into the elite "Jawroom" alongside eleven wildly powerful, Weave-touched prodigies, Morgan must navigate a curriculum where the magic is tied to psychological truth and survival. To make matters worse, she's drawn to Emmett Morehouse-a scarred, amethyst-eyed "Ironmancer" who navigates the school's dangerous, shifting architecture with a quiet, magnetic ease. Their connection sparks a rhythm she can't ignore, but in a school built on secrets, trust is a dangerous currency. Outside the classroom, the shadows are lengthening. Armed with her late father's cryptic training journal-which hides ancient Weave-glyphs and terrifying sketches of the violet-black entity stalking her dreams-Morgan is piecing together a legacy that defies the laws of magic itself. Meanwhile, her Uncle Zander carries a world-shattering burden: the soul-echo of Morgan's father is tethered to the living world, waiting to cross the Veiled Margin. But the Weaveforce demands balance, and anomalies rarely go unpunished. Handed a mysterious golden puzzle piece on her first day, Morgan is about to discover that her placement in the Vanguard cohort was no accident. She is a piece of a much larger, ancient puzzle. And the board is already set.

#272 in teen fiction {june 26 '16} ×× Protagonist - Eva Antagonist - Life as we know it ∆ It was a hour long drive from the airport to our new house. I always found car rides really horribly boring and unbearable. The constant honking,the bumps on the road, the whirr of the engine - it's the absolute recipe for 'Not Being Able To Sleep.' And that my friends is the major reason behind why I despise car rides - because I don't get to sleep. No matter how hard I try, no matter how I position my back or body or arms, no matter how sleepy or tired I am, no matter how soothing the music is - I'm never able to sleep during car rides. Also - claustrophobia. And a closed moving vehicle that makes me feel uneasy and trapped is a nightmare at the least. Add to that, it being midnight when our plane landed, meaning I had to spend the peak of my sleeping hours awake (in the moving thing) and you get an overly annoyed and cranky Eva. ∆ #346 in teen fiction {June 25 2016} © 2016
