Description:
Teenager Faris Nallaneen is the heir to the small northern dukedom of Galazon. Too young still to claim her title, her despotic Uncle Brinker has ruled in her place. Now he demands she be sent to Greenlaw College. For her benefit he insists. To keep me out of the way, more like it!
But Greenlaw is not just any school-as Faris and her new best friend Jane discover. At Greenlaw students major in . . . magic.
But it's not all fun and games. When Faris makes an enemy of classmate Menary of Aravill, life could get downright . . . deadly.
Young Faris Nallaneen, the Duchess of Galazon, has been sent to a far-off college by her uncle in his bid to control Galazon himself. But he hasn't counted on the academic specialty of the ancient college of Greenlaw. As well as history, logic, and deportment, his niece will be studying magic.
