From the bestselling author of The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches comes the sequel to Vanya and the Wild Hunt, winner of the Good Housekeeping Kids' Book Awards and a School Library Journal Best Book of the Year!
Vanya Vallen always felt like she didn’t fit in. That is, until she joined the ranks of students at Auramere, an enchanted library and school where life is unexpected, exciting, and wonderful.
Months later, Vanya must deal with the fallout of her decision to become Master of the Wild Hunt. The power and growing influence of the Old One inhabiting her has incited fear and mistrust in her classmates and teachers, her mother has gone into hiding, and the perpetrator behind the attacks on the Monsoon Races is still at large. Armed with an unstable power and support from some likely AND unlikely allies, Vanya must uncover the truth behind the plot against Auramere—a plot that may have devastating consequences for the entire magical world—before it’s too late.
