Series: Fern’s School for Wayward Fae

Return to Fern’s School for Wayward Fae – where students are part human and part magical. In book 2 of this peculiar series, one demifae girl discovers that Death itself has Fern’s students in sight … and the fate of the whole school is looking grim.

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.
