About This Book
Reach for this book when your teenager is feeling a growing awareness of systemic injustice or the 'unfairness' of social hierarchies. It is a perfect fit for the student who feels like an outsider or who is beginning to question the ethics of power and the cost of seeking revenge. The story follows Alka, an undercover rebel infiltrating an elite magic academy to destroy the wizarding class that murdered her parents. While it is a high stakes fantasy, its emotional core explores the heavy burdens of grief, the complexity of moral compromise, and the unexpected healing found in found family. Because of its dark themes and visceral action, it is best suited for mature teens (14+) who enjoy gritty, fast paced narratives that do not shy away from the messy realities of rebellion.
