Rebecca Warren’s life was that of a typical teenage girl in elite England. A large estate with walled gardens, access to the best education money could afford, and the neglect of her soccer star father that was the root of all her problems. Then one day King Mathias took the throne and turned everything upside down.

Now Rebecca and her sister Isabelle are forced to flee England, heading for America, a lawless land full of magic that the Warren sisters never encountered before. Physicals levitating objects to throw at their enemies. Naturals using plants and animals as their pawns in battle. Spirituals talking to the dead for some weird reason.

And Rebecca would learn all about it at Capitol Street Academy while facing a bully, a former best friend, and a mysteriously stern teacher who knows her father’s past. If Rebecca isn’t careful, she and her sister may find themselves captured or killed as King Mathias’ reach across the 700-year-long peaceful world is far and powerful.

When Rebecca Warren returns for another year at Capitol Street Academy, she hopes for a normal year.

It is anything but normal as King Mathias sets out a new plan to capture Rebecca and her sister. One that’s deadlier for anyone close to Rebecca. An assassin breaks out of prison and a high political figure is murdered, leaving the Warrens’ safety in peril.

The escape from school will lead Rebecca and her friends on a journey beyond the magic-filled America and into the southern nation of Hibernia.

Between forests and cities, an island off the coast of Carolina, and even the afterlife, Rebecca’s gang will look to uncover why King Mathias is looking to bring back war after a 700 year slumber of peace.

With her mentor now gone, Rebecca Warren and her friends set their sights on a war torn England in hopes of finding a way to defeat King Mathias.

But first, Rebecca has questions. Is her mother still alive? What secrets has her father kept from the family? Is her brother still insufferable? The only way to get those answers is to make a detour to France and find where the broken Warren family is hiding.

The journal of an old king must be found in Mathias’s castle to unlock the secrets of how to stop him. In order to penetrate its walls, Rebecca will need to win over the hearts and minds of England, earn the trust of a rebellious group, and suffer the trauma of her past and present.

Oh, and Rebecca will have to do all of this while trying to keep her friends from losing their cool with each other, and her best friend has more than friends in mind. Yay, drama!
