Lady Victoria Mansfield, youngest daughter of the earl and countess of Fairmount, is destined for a charmed life. Soon she will be presented during the London season, where she can choose a mate worthy of her status. Yet Tory has a shameful secretβa secret so powerful that, if exposed, it could strip her of her position and disgrace her family forever. Toryβs blood is tainted . . . by magic. When a shocking accident forces Tory to demonstrate her despised skill, the secret sheβs fought so hard to hide is revealed for all to see. She is immediately exiled to Lackland Abbey, a reform school for young men and women in her position. There she will learn to suppress her deplorable talents and maybe, if sheβs one of the lucky ones, be able to return to society. But Toryβs life is about to change forever. All that sheβs ever known or considered important will be challenged. What lies ahead is only the beginning of a strange and wonderful journey into a world where destiny and magic come together, where true love and friendship find her, and where courage and strength of character are the only things that determine a young girlβs worth.
