When she receives a case from 1985 involving an all-girls reform school, her only instinct is to say no. Teenage girls are the worst kind of drain on her magic. But the file reveals a familiar name she hasn’t heard in years and suddenly the murder of the school’s headmistress becomes less off limits and more of a personal quest. Can Nuala keep her 100% case closure rate without losing her head -- literally? Each book stands completely on its own, but you'll have more fun if you read them all together!
