   Additional Information  
 
  In your first year as a student at Trumbull Woodhouse school for girls, your secret psychic gifts have led you into the depths of a mythic side of the school known only to a select few. The elite school has a powerful history that has been kept secret for the past 125 years. Warring factions, strained alliances, and a hidden magic all lurk beneath the posh surface of your exclusive school.


At the center of the mystery lies The Apocryphon, a book of secret texts and prophecies written by school founder Emma Woodhouse. The Apocryphonshifts the tide of power between Lionhead, a group of adults who claim you are “The One”: the girl who was prophesied in the book, someone who will change the future with her unprecedented abilities and powers. Lionhead has controlled The Apocryphon for decades&mdashbut if you can locate it and unify the two factions, your school will change forever.


You've always been ambivalent about your psychic powers. But what if they are the key to making you an insider for the first time in your life? Put another way: what happens if there really is magic in the world? And what happens if you have found yourself in one of the few genuine places that teaches it?
