Follow the Hudson River as it winds its way through its mist-shrouded valley and you’ll find Blythewood Academy, an elite boarding school that turns young ladies into women. But Blythewood is no ordinary prep school– as Avaline Hall finds out, its students are training to defend the world from the looming threat of powerful dark magic. Bookended between the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire of 1911 and the events of World War I, the Blythewood novels by bestselling author Carol Goodman weave together history, mystery, romance, and magic.
