London, 1864. Fifteen year-old Anna Addison finds herself held at gunpoint by a snappy, out-of-place woman who calls herself Nichole Harvey. Surviving this encounter leads to Anna breaking free from the hopeless monotony of life, and she discovers that she possesses something most people on Earth don’t: magic. To her, it's the key to empowerment.

Wanting real opportunities, Anna leaps into Domhan, a world unlike Earth, which has the knowledge and wonder her birthplace lacks. She gets to attend Fearghus Academy, the top school in Domhan. There, she makes friends while receiving the education she had always been denied.

But a traumatic loss makes Anna realize she may have leaped into something dangerously deep. Her painful experience is only a small part of an issue of gigantic proportion, and as tensions rise, it becomes apparent to her that there is much more to this enemy lying just beneath the surface.

Now it's up to Anna and her friends to uncover the truth about Fearghus Academy's enemies, all while mitigating the mayhem of teen life. Will they unravel the mystery? Or will they be defeated by their sadistic foes? One thing is for certain … They won't come out unharmed.

I came across this book on Instagram so I thought why not and read the ebook. It makes me kind of sad this book hasnt gotten much attention. It's great writing and the protagonist Anna (she changes her name to Artesia) is different than most protagonists I have read in young adult fiction. She's blunt to a fault and has issues that I don't have but I can fathom someone having. Her differences don't make her bad though. IMO she's cool and I would be her friend if she were a real person.

And without any spoilers the relationship between Eilam and Telemachus is super cute. I don't know who to ship more, he and Telemachus or Eilam and Artesia. Probably neither will have for reasons the reader learns, but the chemistry is wild! Very memorable characters. I'm reading book 2 and if that gets posted here some time I might review that too because it's darker but doesn't lose the charm of book 1. Author says there are books books to come so I feel invested
Good Points
The characters were all developed and fleshed out in a way I could understand. The villains are interesting and the magic system is cool. I liked the author's distinct narration style.
