Publisher Description

Wyldcliffe Abbey School for Young Ladies, housed in a Gothic mansion on the bleak northern moors, is elite, expensive, and unwelcoming. When Evie Johnson is torn away from her home by the sea to become the newest scholarship student, she is more isolated than she could have dreamed. Strict teachers, snobbish students, and the oppressive atmosphere of Wyldcliffe leave Evie drowning in loneliness.

Evie's only lifeline is Sebastian, a rebellious, mocking, dangerously attractive young man she meets by chance. As Evie's feelings for Sebastian grow with each secret meeting, she starts to fear that he is hiding something about his past. And she is haunted by glimpses of a strange, ghostly girl—a girl who is so eerily like Evie, she could be a sister. Evie is slowly drawn into a tangled web of past and present that she cannot control. And as the extraordinary, elemental forces of Wyldcliffe rise up like the mighty sea, Evie is faced with an astounding truth about Sebastian, and her own incredible fate.

Gillian Shields's electrifying tale will dazzle readers with suspense, mysticism, and romance.

    " The story had a really promising beginning but it fell flat a few chapters in. I did not care about Evie and I had to force myself to finish this book, continually hoping that it would get better as the story dragged on. It never did and I regret purchasing this book and wasting hours of my life reading it. "

    " When I bought this book, I was looking for a quick and fun read...but guess what? another freaking series. There were really no surprises in the book and it ended just like I thought after I found out it was the beginning of another series. It was just okay for me. I won't be rushing out to find book 2.
