page!" B.B. Alston, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Amari
and the Night Brothers "A spellbinding story of empowerment and

Times bestselling author of the School for Good and Evil series.
Life in the Swamplands is tough for twelve-year-old orphan Adia.
Her aunt and uncle believe she is an ogbanje, a demon-possessed
child thought to bring misfortune. And when Adia manifests
mysterious powers, accidentally destroying her village, she starts
to think they might be right. Adia flees to the faraway Academy of
Shamans, hoping someone at the school can figure out what is wrong
with her and fix it. But she doesn't expect to stumble across a
bunch of squabbling deities with a secret... Joining forces with a
snarky Goddess, a 500 year old warrior girl and a status-obsessed
soldier boy, Adia goes on a mission through hidden realms to save
her kingdom. But if she is to succeed, she must learn to wield her
mysterious powers and figure out who she really is. Discover an
action-packed new series from a brilliantly exciting debut author,
perfect for fans of SCHOOL FOR GOOD AND EVIL and NEVERMOOR.
