Shadows on the School Grounds

If you'd ask Miona what she really thinks of her new school, most likely she'd tell you she isn't too pleased with it. Her reasons might go like this: Not only there isn't any car-flying class like some kids in her old school had told her, but Most subjects are tough and no fun at all, Discipline is even tougher than in her old school. The Dean, for one, is this mean human woman with a quick switch and no sense of humor, who seems to have taken a strong dislike in her since the first day of school, Another lie that went around in her old school: most chores are done by school personnel. NOT—TRUE. She has to do them, just like at her old school or at home, Worse still: she can't make friends in her own class, because the class bully has taken a special interest in picking on her and scaring her classmates away from her. He's also very good at getting her punished. Since the start of the school year—for nearly two months now—she has only been able to go home once, all thanks to him.... But soon she finds another issue to add to her list: this school is dangerous. There are shadows roaming the grounds. And the spy game Miona is forced to play might do much more than get her expelled and make her master angry at her. In fact she might need more than her brashness and strong sword fighting skills to check out of that game alive. More than the help from her new friends. What she may need is a strange, powerful gift she never knew she had.... This is the first book in the series A Charmers' World. Approximately 480 pages.
