What if the school you were sent to was hiding a secret meant for you?
Fourteen-year-old Mira Thorne has always known she is different. While other students discover extraordinary abilities, Mira has none. Then she receives an invitation to Obsidian Academy, a mysterious school where students are trained to become villains.
But Obsidian Academy is hiding more than unusual classes and dangerous abilities.
When students begin disappearing, Mira and her new friends-Kai, Nova, Sage, and Rue-start asking questions they were never meant to ask. Forbidden halls, secret laboratories, mysterious experiments, and a powerful organization known only as the Board slowly reveal a darkness buried beneath the academy.
The deeper Mira digs, the more she realizes that the secrets surrounding Obsidian Academy may be connected to her own family-and to a mystery that has been hidden for generations.
At Obsidian Academy, being powerless may be the least dangerous thing about Mira.
The secrets are waiting.
The Board is watching.
And Mira is about to discover why she was chosen.
