What's a pooka to do when an invitation lands on her doorstep?

Gwenna Meadows never expected to receive an invitation to Harrowmere Academy, the most prestigious magic school in the Otherworld. Students who attend Harrowmere are powerful, disciplined, and confident.

Gwenna is none of those things.

She's a pooka-born shifter whose magic refuses to behave. One moment she's human, the next she's something else entirely-and sometimes all three at once.

Highcross Hall was supposed to help students like her learn control. Instead, Gwenna discovers whispers no one wants to explain.

Talented students disappear. Records are altered. And the academy insists they simply finalized, choosing one true form forever.

But Gwenna suspects something far older is making that choice for them.

Something buried deep within Harrowmere's oldest wing. Something that names what every shifter must become.

And Gwenna may be the only student it cannot decide.

If she can't uncover the truth before the academy decides for her, Gwenna may lose more than her place at Harrowmere.

She may lose every part of herself.
