Lily Hart is a young witch with new magical abilities who has just enrolled in her first year at Everlight Academy, a school for the paranormal. Everlight is shrouded in mystery and dark secrets. When an evil coven of witches and warlocks threatens to destroy Everlight, Lily’s world is turned upside down. She must face off against witches, wizards, dragons, zombies, and other paranormal creatures in this action-packed YA Fantasy.
Shunned by Everlight Academy and cast out as a monster, Leon Quinn takes refuge at mysterious Everdark, where his shadowy brand of wizardry is welcome. In the gothic halls of Everdark Academy, where magic of all kinds seeps from every ancient crevice, Leon discovers there are others like him, others who must hide from the world.
With the help of an eclectic cadre of new friends, including a werewolf, a giant, and a captivating vampire named Cher, who captures his heart, Leon comes to believe there is something rotten at Everdark. Headmaster Aconite has gone mad, and the powerful wizard aims to capture the ultimate source of magical power known as the Well of Lost Light, which is guarded by a young shaman with a remarkable gift.
On the backs of dragons, Leon and Cher make a dangerous journey to the north and encounter Azaria, the child magician Aconite has sent them to assassinate. Mesmerized and charmed by Azaria, they quickly realize their new mission: to prevent the Well of Lost Light from falling into evil hands. Drawing on the strength that comes from the unity of light and dark magic, Leon and his friends are the only things that stand between peace and destruction.
