And who will stop at nothing to have Frances by his side. Frances’s newfound power attracts the attention of the leader of an ancient order who yearns for magical control of Manhattan. Frances has no interest in the small, safe magic of her school, and is instead enchanted by Finn, a boy with magic himself who appears in her dreams and tells her he can teach her all she’s been craving to learn, lessons that may bring her closer to discovering what truly happened to her brother. Within Haxahaven’s glittering walls, Frances finds the sisterhood she craves, but the headmistress warns Frances that magic is dangerous. But Frances finds Haxahaven isn’t a sanitarium at all: it’s a school for witches. Before she can be condemned as a murderess, two cape-wearing nurses arrive to inform her she is deathly ill and ordered to report to Haxahaven Sanitarium. Everything changes when she’s attacked and a man ends up dead at her feet-her scissors in his neck, and she can’t explain how they got there. Summary: In 1911 New York City, seventeen-year-old Frances Hallowell spends her days as a seamstress, mourning the mysterious death of her brother months prior.
