Somewhere Final High Res.jpg

A new semester means new surprises at Miss Coleridge’s Academy for Gifted Youths. Elsie tries her best to be a good Guardian, but a few terrible mistakes causes Elsewhere’s trust in her to falter.

 

To make matters worse, Gifted kids from around the world have gone missing, taken somewhere the Gateways can’t reach.

 

A mysterious figure offers Elsie a tempting solution—a way to keep Gifts for good instead of borrowing them—but the deal comes with a heavy price.

 

Do the ends truly justify the means?
