With magic, things are never what they seem. Firedrakes infiltrate the school, then turn out not to really be drakes at all, but humans suffering from a curse. Just another day at the academy... until breaking the curse doesn't go so well. The Sorcerers' dark magic is strong. Isadora might be stronger, if only she can survive long enough to figure out her powers. Will she manage to break the curse? Or will she pay the ultimate price for trying?
