Booklist - 06/01/2023 This sequel follows the titular protagonist as she embarks on another action-packed adventure that’s filled to the brim with Celtic magic and mythology and strong, determined heroines from the Academy for the Unbreakable Arts. This fresh take on the magical-school trope brings heightened stakes and compelling friendships to the page as Kelcie—whose family history (which includes a deity and a traitor) has brought many challenges upon her—must stop the thievery of the Heart of Danu, an essential part of the Lands of Summer, before it thrusts the land and its people into suffering, cold, and darkness. Collaborating with changelings and defending the school from giants, Kelcie and her friends must navigate the social and cultural requirements of the Land of Summers’ Ascension Ceremony, all while trying to keep everyone—and especially the Heart—safe. This exciting adventure, steeped in Celtic folklore, sees Kelcie grow and transform as a warrior and individual, as many suspect her capable of stealing the Heart and destroying the semblance of peace, even though she is doing her utmost to protect it. - Copyright 2023 Booklist.
