At six-foot-four, April already stands out. Being awkward, shy, and uncertain about her place in the world doesn’t help—but being different runs deeper than anyone knows. When she’s accepted into Saguaro Academy for Science and Art, she’s convinced the tests got it wrong. She can’t conjure fire, levitate pencils, or summon spirits. What she can do is far stranger: she feels the damage in other people’s souls.
No one knows how to train her—not even the professors who’ve seen every kind of magic.
As April struggles through classes, friendships, and the minefield of teenage life, she discovers something dangerous: she can heal others by using pieces of her own soul.
What she doesn’t know how to do is heal her own.
But when whispers of a forbidden experiment and a lost tome resurface, April realizes her power isn’t an accident—it’s a weapon, and someone intends to use it. In a world where secrets have teeth and shadows remember, she must decide who to trust… and what part of herself she’s willing to lose.
Perfect for fans of academy fantasy with mystery, danger, and heart—like Crave, House of Night, and The Mortal Instruments.
