Description
Return to Fern's School for Wayward Fae-where students are part human and part magical. In this sequel to the peculiar New York Times bestseller, 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 with a graveyard gift. A mysterious hunt. And an unlikely escape from death. . . .
Sometimes the best part about birthdays is being surprised . . . but sometimes, well. It's not. Rosemary Thorpe's thirteenth birthday reveals the truth about her visions of death-just in time for her to foresee her own death. If that weren't concerning enough, Rosemary's classmates begin acting strangely as well-somehow forgetting whole conversations that they recently had, almost as if by magic.
With the growing threat of the Seelie Fae Keeper taking control of Fern's-it's clear that his influence has finally reached the school. But with winter upon them, Rosemary must also take part in the legendary Yule Hunt. Can she put a stop to the Keeper's dastardly plans in the midst of the Hunt? Or is she about to meet her own grim end?

Person
Fern Forgettable-if that is her real name-is a fairy of mystery. Fern insists the School for Wayward Fae, a place for students who are part human, and part other, is named after her, but that, like many things she says, is not quite the truth. Don't let her sparkly wings and fiery red hair fool you into thinking she's good, for things are rarely as simple as "good" and "bad" when it comes to the fae.
