“A strong heroine and incredible world building make this a must read series.”-Barbara Freethy, #1 NYT Bestselling AuthorAt the magic world’s most elite school, time and glittering evil stalk Ren Crown’s steps. In a world where layers of magic create worlds on top of our own–worlds where almost anything is possible–some rules still can’t be broken, and Ren is desperate to overturn society’s … overturn society’s most sacred law.
On campus, animated creations, enchanted gadgets, and marvelous machines vie with the students themselves: mischievous engineers, diabolical tacticians, battle-hardened warriors, and terrifying roommates. But even amidst an eclectic and powerful student body, there is something off about Ren’s magic…and the wrong people have started to notice.
Where art comes alive and the bonds of destiny are forged, Ren will find the answer to who and what she is.

A great start for a superb series.
Awesome series
Fantastic book and series! I couldn’t put it down!

2) The characters are amazingly well-developed, with individual back stories and …
Excellently written story with engaging characters and an unusual insight into human behavior.
Honestly loving the atmosphere and characters in the book.
