Avaline Hall enters Blythewood Academy after being saved from a fire by a mysterious boy. Blythewood turns out to be more than just a boarding school--students are handpicked and trained in archery, magic, and bell-ringing in hopes of fighting the darkness of Faerie. Once the lengthy story gets going, Goodman's eccentric cast of characters will hook readers.
