Ever since the disappearance of her parents, along with every trace of her old life, thirteen-year-old Elsha Dyer has been wondering if she and her siblings are cursed. Thrown into a nightmare boarding house, their lives have been one bad turn after another-and worse-no one sees the monsters but Elsha.

When witches come crashing through her door-and for once she's not the only one who sees them-Elsha discovers it's nothing she and her family did to bring about their life of misfortune. The devil's minions are constantly seeking to destroy children like Elsha...those with powerful gifts. Whisked away to a Manor, the Dyers are told things they never thought possible: fallen angels, goblins, witches, sorcery-forces at war that most of the world is blind to. To make matters worse-a powerful demon lord might be free: Asmodeus.

Elsha and her siblings must navigate the mystery of their parents' disappearance in a strange school with magic, wacky teachers, dangerous arena challenges...and a deadly gym class. With the world at stake, Elsha faces a different villain at every turn and must accept being from a broken family is no reason to ignore her destiny.
