Description

Description
You Don’t Choose The Academy. The Academy Chooses You.
I had no idea how those words would change my life. Or how they’d changed my life already…
Until the day the most dangerous man I’ve ever met waltzed onto my farm and left us a death sentence.
In an invitation.
My younger brother has been chosen for the prestigious, secret magical school hidden within the folds of our mundane world. A place so dangerous, they don’t guarantee you’ll make it out alive.
If he doesn't go our entire family will be killed.
It’s the same invitation my older brother received three years ago—the same place he mysteriously died.
The academy has already killed one sibling. I’ll be damned if they take another.
I do the only thing an older sister can: chop off my hair, strap on two bras to flatten the girls, and take my brother’s place.
Magic and monsters are real. Assassins are coming for me, and the dead are prone to rise. What’s a girl faking it as a boy supposed to do? That’s right—beat the academy at its own game.
Or die trying.

this envelope appeared her beloved older brother Tommy was called. He ended up mysteriously dead less than a year later with no explanation and nothing but an empty coffin to bury. This time was different, as there was no choice. This time the letter threatened the destruction of her family if her too trusting younger brother "Billy" didn't accept. She refused to allow her younger brother join Tommy in death. The entire thing was insane . Did magic really exist? In order to save her brother and the rest of her family she chose to impersonate him. Thus starts the beginning of learning about this world and an abundance of secrets. This book has one fierce MC with a huge heart, instincts galore, and a need to learn what truly happened to her big brother. Wild is determined to uncover all these secrets...and meets an intriguing cast of characters along the way who might just become friends and the occasional enemy. Who is really out to harm her family? Two of my favourite authors join forces to bring us the first book in an exciting series!! I can't wait for book two!!! 💗 Show Less
