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.

"This book is a Romantasy set in the same world as Daughter of the Moon Goddess with lots of myth. The story blends romance and mythology in a way that feels both magical and exciting. The characters are relatable, and I loved how the myths were woven into the plot, making the world feel vibrant and alive. Overall, it’s a wonderful, engaging read."
"I actually enjoyed this because it was just something to read and go off into a world where I didn't have to worry about the day to day things. Yes it was a bit immature and didn't have many adult like motivations and plot movements, but it wasn't made for adults to read it was made for younger people to enjoy and so I let it take me back to my younger years and enjoyed it without a care to how it was all driven or if someone was acting stupid."
