Twenty years ago, a door opened between the world of humans allowing all kinds of otherworldly creatures entry. Some, like the kelpies and fairies, who like to bite, are best avoided. But the gargoyles are wise and wonderful, and show a special affection for humans.
Vicky has grown up under the watchful eye of a gargoyle named Rupert. She excels at sword-fighting and magic. But there’s so much she doesn’t know. Like why her mother keeps Vicky hidden away. She won’t let Vicky train at the elite Corvus school where girls with her gifts perfect their skills. But when a horrific tragedy occurs, Vicky knows it’s finally time to use her gifts.
She bands together with a former street thief and an alchemy student to figure out whom they can trust in a place that’s rife with intrigue and secrets. Vicky and her friends just might be the generation to expose the court’s secrets and ensure a better future for both worlds.
