Bailey, Kristin

Rise of the Arcane Fire

(4) YA Secret Order series. After discovering her family's hidden legacy, Meg struggles to prove herself at a Victorian-era academy for new Amusementists. Meg's Hogwarts-esque school serves as an adequate catalyst for political intrigue, duplicitous professors, and dangerous rivalries. However, Bailey's attempts to cast Meg as a proto-feminist among her sexist male classmates falter when a love triangle takes center stage in this second steampunk installment.
