Welcome to Cackleshore Academy…

Nell Clayton didn't just leave the magical school she once called home — she ran.

She built herself a perfectly ordinary life, and she was perfectly fine with that, thank you very much.

Then the hex hit.

Now she's back behind those ivy-tangled gates, and nothing is as she left it. A feral little witchling is turning the town upside down with wild, untraceable magic. Someone — or something — is quietly pulling the Academy apart from the inside. And then there's him: the boy she left behind – complete with stormy eyes and a bone to pick.

Some witches are made. Some are born. And some are dragged back kicking and screaming — right where they belong.
