Book Overview

In 1911 Manhattan, seventeen-year-old Frances Hallowell lives a quiet life as a seamstress while grieving the mysterious death of her beloved brother. Her world is turned upside down after a violent encounter leaves a stranger dead under impossible circumstances, with no explanation for how she became involved.

Before she can face judgment for the incident, Frances is taken to Haxahaven Sanitarium, a place she soon discovers is far more extraordinary than its name suggests. Rather than a hospital, Haxahaven is a secret academy where young witches are taught to understand and control their magical abilities.

For the first time, Frances finds acceptance among people who share her extraordinary gifts. Yet she quickly realizes that the carefully controlled lessons offered within the school’s walls cannot satisfy her growing curiosity about the true potential of magic.

Her fascination deepens when she encounters Finn, a mysterious young man with magical abilities who appears in her dreams. Offering knowledge that reaches far beyond the academy’s teachings, Finn promises to help Frances unlock the secrets of her powers—and perhaps uncover the truth surrounding her brother’s death.

As Frances grows stronger, her abilities attract the attention of a powerful and ambitious leader determined to dominate the magical world and seize control of Manhattan. Caught between loyalty, love, justice, and unimaginable power, Frances must decide what she is willing to sacrifice to protect those she cares about.

Filled with mystery, unforgettable characters, hidden magic, and high-stakes adventure, this richly imagined fantasy explores the cost of ambition, the strength of friendship, and the difficult choices that define who we become. Perfect for readers who enjoy historical fantasy, magical schools, secret societies, and emotionally driven coming-of-age adventures.
