A magical key, and a broken girl.Sylvie's life has been haunted by shadows for as long as she can remember. They've chased and tormented her from one foster home to another, ruining anything good she might have had. As she got older they forced her into a cycle of depression, paranoia, and abject poverty as she bounced from job to job, barely keeping her head above water.She thought she'd finally put them behind her when she lucked into a decent job. But an errant act of kindness put an end to that. Fired, and on the brink of homelessness Sylvie fears she's been pulled back into the dark cycle again. It'll take a miracle to save her. When a mysterious letter arrives, inviting her to Brookmoors Academy of Sorcery and Invocation, she realizes what she needed all along wasn't a miracle. It was magic. The offer to learn magic isn't as simple as it seems. She'll have to pass strange esoteric tests, interviews, and trials without any knowledge of the arcane. As she embarks upon the unknown she begins to wonder if her mental illness, paranoia, and fear of shadows that has plagued her entire life may be something more sinister.Something that doesn't want her going to Brookmoors and learning magic. Magic may be everything Sylvie ever dreamed of, but she'll have to survive long enough to learn it.
