A novelty from the fantasy author Anna Gelair! A fascinating story, steeped in Celtic myths and Arthurian! Fans of "Percy Jackson", "Shadowhunters" by Cassandra Clare and "Ravens" by Maggie Stivoter will love it. Fourteen—year-old Joy is a smart and quiet girl. She loves to read and go out, but she hates being a freshman at different schools all the time. Parents move all the time and try very hard to seem like an ordinary family. But everything changes when the Dark Ones find them. Joy's father was killed, and her mother was abducted. Joy learns the secret of her origin, that she is a half-breed, one of the Light Ones. The girl enters a school for magical creatures, Ravenbridge, hoping to master her gift. But the Dark Ones have not finished their hunt yet, and the howl of the Barghest marks their return.
