Publisher's summary

Their past is not what they think it is....

Thrown back in time after the spells binding Whitehall School together nearly collapsed, Emily finds herself in the days of Lord Whitehall. But everything she knows about the past is a lie. The Whitehall Commune is in hiding from a great and terrible foe, while some of the legendary founders bicker like children and others call on deadly and untrustworthy entities with agendas of their own.

Desperately seeking a way back to her own time, her mere presence a boon and a curse to established history, Emily is drawn into a conflict against both rogue wizards and a mysterious force intent on exterminating all magicians before the future school can take shape. But as deadly powers converge on the castle, her time is running out...and, deep beneath Old Whitehall, something dark and dangerous is about to be born.

Inspired and relentless

An unrelenting experience of a book. Nuttall continues to weave an astoundingly complex tapestry of a story. Threading call backs, Easter eggs and intensity into the rich continuity he has created throughout the last nine books. His mastery of character work is enthralling as Emily is thrown into a setting that makes her even more of a fish out water and Nuttall is on point every step of the way making Emily even more compelling, relatable, concientous and pensive. This is easily my favorite adventure thus far.

Amazing!

I didn't think it was possible that this book could be better than the last one but it absolutely was! This series just keeps getting better and better and better.
