Hawthorn Academy Year One (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781642027389)

My name is Aliyah, and my family is famous.

My great-grandfather's magic brought light and healing to the world. On the other side of that coin, my uncle is an infamous criminal, using his magic to only perform evil.

I carry their potential. I carry their power. One day, I'll be able to use it - and my goal is to use it for good.

Now, I'm starting school, and my biggest challenge isn't history, math, or even the dreaded Magiscience Lab. It's keeping a devastating secret from almost everyone, including my own family. I'm an Extramagus, just like my uncle, whose incredible powers absolutely corrupted him.

Is evil really my destiny, or can I fight it somehow?
