Caroline's estranged aunt and next of kin, the mysterious Marguerite Destine, brings Caroline to stay with her in France at the prestigious school where Marguerite is Headmistress. However, the students at Destine Academy aren't your typical gifted and talented academics. Caroline finds herself surrounded by a world filled with four factions of magically talented individuals, each with their own special skills. There's the friendly witch Nadine Landry of the Magiques, and the handsome and flirtatious Corbin of the Surnaturals with his preternatural strength and skills. Even the sullen and unapproachable Magique Aldrick Vieux can't help but intrigue Caroline, who finds many more surprises in store for her in this fascinating world-truths that throw everything she thought she ever knew into question. But is she ready for this new knowledge, or for the potential dangers of this unfamiliar new reality?
