Dunwald: The Marked Child

About the book

Some doors should never be opened. Some invitations can never be refused. Nora has spent her life trying to survive. Growing up in a rundown orphanage, she's learned not to expect kindness, family, or a future worth dreaming about. Every day is simply about making it to tomorrow. Then a mysterious woman appears on Nora's morning train with an impossible claim. Nora has been invited to Dunwald—a hidden academy where magic is real, ancient secrets are guarded, and students are trained to master abilities the rest of the world doesn't even know exist. It sounds like a fantasy. Until the impossible begins happening right in front of her. Pulled into a world of enchanted forests, magical creatures, dangerous rivalries, and five legendary houses, Nora quickly discovers that Dunwald is far more than a school. Dark forces are stirring beyond its walls, and the answers surrounding her forgotten past may be tied to secrets powerful enough to change both worlds forever. Some students came to Dunwald to learn magic. Nora may have come to save it.
