   Summary

   Juniper Huxley thought she had life figured out – lonely, quiet, and perfectly predictable on a windswept island. Then a letter from Hogwarts arrived, and suddenly "predictable" was off the table.
   Thrown into a world of ancient magic and students who seem to have inherited everything she lacks, Juniper does what she does best: observe, analyse, and keep everyone at arm's length. But one eventually makes acquaintances at Hogwarts – whether willingly or by fate.
   When a mysterious book leads her on a merry chase around the castle, Juniper finds herself pulled into a web of secrets that stretches back centuries. And she soon discovers that some truths are better left buried forever.

   Juniper's first year at Hogwarts is only the beginning of the end.
