Summary: In the small town of Shepard, where fantastical beings and humans live side-by-side, the King family is anything but ordinary. David King, a celebrated author-turned-investigator of the supernatural, is married to Magdalene, a reformed gargoyle with a fierce protective streak. Together, they’ve faced their fair share of eerie mysteries. Their eldest, Isabelle King, a gargoyle-human hybrid and gifted magic user, attends the prestigious Arcadia Academy, where she’s carving her path in the world of sorcery and creatures from folklore.
But this story centers on Asa King, the younger sibling and self-proclaimed “sane one” of the family. Asa feels like the odd one out, caught between the legacy of her parents’ adventures and her sister’s magical prowess. Entering her first year at Arcadia Academy—a sprawling, mysterious school perched on a mountain just beyond Shepard—Asa is ready to forge her own identity. With new friends, a burgeoning mystery involving the academy, and strange incidents cropping up around campus, Asa finds herself pulled into investigations that reveal a world as dangerous as it is magical.
The blend of mysteries and supernatural intrigue gives the story a “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” meets “Veronica Mars” vibe, where quick wit and sharp instincts are just as essential as spells and courage.
