Publisher's summary

Days away from completing her first year at Miss Castwell’s Institute for the Magical Instruction of Young Ladies, Changeling-born Sarah Smith might just get away with posing as an upper-class Guardian girl named Cassandra Reed.

But strange visions of a Lightbourne destroyed by Miss Morton’s revenant army keep Sarah from enjoying her achievement. Plus, the Mother Book, Sarah’s one secret advantage and the ultimate entrée in Guardian society, suddenly stops revealing itself to her...putting her in a precarious position with the Guild. On top of all that, her former lady’s maid left Miss Castwell’s, and the new hire is, well, taking some getting used to.

If it weren’t for her two best friends, Alicia McCray and Ivy Cowel, who will do anything to protect her secret, Sarah doesn’t know if she’ll make it another year. When the three girls take summer holiday with Alicia’s family (chaperoned by an exacting and very disapproving Mrs. McCray), a relaxing vacation in Scotland is the last thing they’ll find.

Mrs. Winter is thrilled that Sarah is spending time with the influential McCray family, but Sarah can’t help but feel that her real purpose is to find other Changeling children like her, and free them to realize their own magic. Can she find genuine satisfaction in her accomplishments when she knows there are others like her out there who need her help? Will the three girls uncover the deeply-held secrets they’re looking for in the mysterious mountains of Scotland? Will the Mother Book finally start talking to her again? And will Sarah come to understand the importance of her connection with Ivy and Alicia, and the true nature of her own power...before it’s too late?

Magic mixed with etiquette.

Enjoyed it immensely. Reminds me of Jane Austen, only with magic. Strong female lead.

Loved this sequel and this series!

Fantastic characters, captivating storyline and excellent narration! Loved this book so much and I hope the next book in this series comes out soon. I haven’t enjoyed a series this much since Harry Potter.

Enjoyed it

Other reviewers complained about the over-referencing of Changeling, Book 1 in this series. Because of that, I almost didn't purchase this one. I'm glad I decided to take the chance. I disagree about too much referencing of the 1st book. The references help along those who might not have read the first one or who might have forgotten some details. I thought it was fun. Yes, it's formulaic and predictable. And I wish there was more magic. I wish it was longer. And I wasn't especially thrilled with the ending. All that said, it is escapism and magic - and fun. I'm happy I read it.

SO GOOD!

I loved this book even more than the first! Despite the quick oace its such a good story and I cannot wait for the next book in the series!!

Can't wait for the next one!!

I finished both books in 36 hours. I just couldn't stop listening. I would find myself sitting in my car just so I could stay in this world a little longer. Would make an epic TV show.

ready for the next book

I do believe Harper's gearing up for a series . it has elements of Hogwarts, Pride and Prejudice as well as XMen... go figure

Witty and fun

Wow. I thought Changeling was great, and around chapter 15 of this one I was screaming in disappointment by something Cassandra did, but not to disappoint Harper comes through. I must say that she must be quite intelligent because no one without wit can write it. Also, Amanda Ronconi is crazy talented. I cannot wait for whatever book is next because I’m loving this new series, better than Harry Potter.

when is the next

I am already dieing for the next for Sara and her friends. Harry Potter look out here comes the ladies!
