It does seem that way, though. Everyone in my family dies young—the curse of the Kensingtons. But I think something else is going on. Something to do with the dark magic that keeps hanging around. I thought I got rid of it at camp, but it’s back, and I think some of the students at Mageright Academy are being controlled by it. I’m so excited to be here, where I can finally learn about my magic...

Welcome to Bloodwood Academy, the one school I have no desire to attend. I purposefully didn’t put in an application. I prefer human schools. Magic isn’t something I want to use, at least not often. Imagine my surprise when a letter arrives at my aunt’s house telling me to report to Bloodwood Academy for the first day of my senior year.
