Book Synopsis

Raised by a hidden coven of witches, Deja Freeman is forbidden from mentioning two things: 1) magic, and 2) her mother. But when she discovers her mother's death is linked to Tanglewood Prep--a prestigious New England boarding school--she enrolls, needing the truth.

Tóbi Ẹkúndayọ̀ is Tanglewood's future valedictorian. Popular and driven, she has her eyes set on Junior Class President, even if it means facing down the institutional prejudice running rampant in her school.

When Deja and Tóbi begin having terrifying visions, they realize one thing lies at the center: the mysterious demise of Tanglewood's first Black female student. In investigating the school's dark history, the girls must trust each other and their crew of friends if they hope to avoid the administration's suspicions--or something far worse.
