Wednesday meets One of Us Is Lying in this magic-filled thriller set at a modern school for wizards. A new start to a fantasy trilogy from bookish superstars James Trevino and Elizabeth Sagan.
Alice Howe is an outcast at the elite Deepgrove Academy, which suits her just fine. But an unwelcome premonition means she'll have to step out of the shadows. Because now she's the only one at Deepgrove who knows two terrible things. In seven days her schoolmate Xena Wycomb, daughter of the American President of Magic, will be dead. And, if left unsolved, Xena's murder will ignite a war.
Despite Alice's warning, Xena meets her foreseen demise. But before she does, she points a finger at the prime suspects in her own murder, each of whom has a deadly secret to keep.
Christopher: The ex-boyfriend she cheated on and the heir to the biggest magical corporation in the world.
Delvy: The traitorous best friend who is embroiled in a scandal of her own.
Ben: Xena's new boyfriend, a mage born without magic and the perfect scapegoat.
And of course, Alice herself.
Soon, the four of them are at the center of a huge media scandal, amid a very public murder investigation, which brings their world to the brink of war between those born with magic and those born without.
Alice knows she can't trust her fellow suspects but they all hold a piece of the puzzle. As suspicion falls on each of them in turn, Alice must find a way to uncover who killed Xena before the whole of magekind meets the same fate.
