Since Gemma Doyle first arrived at the ominous Spence Academy, a year has passed. With her father addicted to laudanum and her mother killed, Gemma has turned to an unexpected strength and the ability to go to the realms, an enchanted place where evil magic reigns supreme. Gemma has kept the power inside herself and created strange new relationships in spite of some danger.
It's time to put these relationships to the test as Gemma gets closer to her London debut. Both the Order and the Rakshana, the enigmatic society her mother once belonged to, are vying for dominance of the realms. Why is Spence's burned-out East Wing being restored now? When Gemma and her pals see Pippa, she has changed. And when Gemma has to make a final decision about what position she is intended for, their relationship is put to the ultimate test.
