Description
What if our hero wasn't the Boy Who Lived, but the Girl Who Inconveniently Survived?
On the eve of a coming-of-age ceremony that will determine her magical powers, thirteen-year-old Ariana Seaborne's life is suddenly changed forever. When a mysterious fire engulfs her home, she becomes orphaned and is spirited away to Promisero Academy, an exclusive school of magic in the city of Port AuCaul.
In this unfamiliar environment she finds allies as she struggles with her grief, her fears that she was responsible for the tragedy, and her inability to use her elusive powers. She is chosen for the Queen's Ladies, a group of young women who assist the queen, but when the political landscape changes, an attempted kidnapping thrusts her and her new friends into the fight of their lives.
Promisero Academy is the first book in the Crowns of Thalias series.
