Readers aged 10+ will fall in love with this extraordinary fantasy world created by Isi Hendrix, where stakes are incredibly high and children possess mysterious powers.
The books are set in the Swamplands, where twelve-year-old orphan Adia is believed to be an ogbanje, a demon-possessed child thought to bring misfortune. So she flees to the faraway Academy of Shamans, where she not only discovers her powers can save her kingdom, but she finds the friends of a lifetime in a snarky Goddess, a 500 year old warrior girl and a status-obsessed soldier boy.
With all the magic and excitement of Nevermoor and The School For Good And Evil, this is a powerful story of taking our power in our own hands, finding courage and friendship.
