In a hidden world of magic, 14-year-old Lila Harrow discovers that she is the heir to an ancient bloodline of Runeweavers—humans who can manipulate reality through powerful, mystical symbols. After surviving a mysterious attack that nearly destroyed her family, Lila is sent to the Silver Rune Academy, a prestigious school for young Runeweavers, to learn how to control her newfound powers. The academy, however, is more than it seems—an ancient curse has been placed on it, causing a shadowy force to haunt the school and stir up danger for its students.
