Darkhaven

"Fabulous angst, delightful humor" – Intisar Khanani, author of the Sunbolt Chronicles

Scholomance meets Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. in this award-winning YA urban fantasy

Gabby is in her final year of high school and facing the Question: what does she want to do with her life? A shame ‘wizarding’ isn’t on the list of university courses.

Just as Gabby despairs that she’ll never find the answer, lightning strikes – literally. She uncovers a conspiracy, meets a mysterious boy, and finds out that maybe, magic might be real. But it comes at a cost, and now Gabby’s faced with a decision that makes choosing a university as easy as choosing a favourite kind of cake. (How is anyone meant to do that?)

Gabby makes a deal: help her new allies with a dangerous infiltration in exchange for not having to choose between magic and her friends. All she has to do is master her newfound abilities, complete the mission, and walk away with a whole new career option. Things don’t quite go to plan, and now it’s not just a life of magic on the line. It’s the lives of her friends too.

A coming-of-age urban fantasy with superhuman sci fi vibes, Darkhaven is the first book in the Lightless Prophecy, a galaxy-spanning adventure of magic and gods, love and betrayal, and a quest to find out what holds the stars together in the dark.
