A supernatural threat closes in on Fern’s school

Nearly thirteen, Rosemary Thorpe is caught in a perilous chase while trying to understand what is happening with the fae courts. Her ability to see the future offers little comfort as strange dangers gather around Fern’s School for Wayward Fae: mushrooms overrun the grounds, the greenhouse plants are threatened, and the students’ unusual gifts appear to have drawn a sinister presence. The story brings Rosemary’s search for answers together with a school setting populated by students who are part human and part magical, extending the series’ focus on fae and the uncertainties surrounding them.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young readers interested in fantasy about fae, magical schools, and supernatural danger.
  • Readers who enjoy stories centered on a young protagonist with a gift for seeing the future.
  • Those following the Fern’s School for Wayward Fae series; this is identified as its second book.

Book overview

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING SERIES - Return to Fern's School for Wayward Fae--where students are part human and part magical. In book 2, one demifae girl discovers that Death itself has Fern's students in sight. . . .

A girl who's trapped in another realm. Her school, full of the peculiarly magical. And a hunt for Death itself. . . .

The month leading up to one's thirteenth birthday can be exciting, but rarely does that thrill come in the form of a perilous chase. Nearly thirteen-year-old Rosemary Thorpe is on the run from a wicked statue come-to-life as she fights to discover what's happening with the fae courts. She can see the future . . . and right now, it's looking grim.

Out of nowhere, legions of mushrooms threaten to overwhelm Fern's School for Wayward Fae. Someone tries to drown all the plants in the greenhouse. And as Rosemary searches for answers, it becomes clearer that something sinister is after the students and their curious gifts . . . and it's closer than she might think.
