Adventure finds fourteen-year-old Victoria Manson where she least expects: Gatlinburg, Tennessee. She doesn't know that a secret world awaits her, a world full of marvel and magic. She has never flown on a carpet or played Combating Creatures, a game dueled on miniature real-life arenas. Not yet, at least.
Confined to a lonely life of homeschooling, Victoria is finally allowed to attend public school for the first time, though it isn't anything like she expected. From a teacher that throws things across the room to a lunch lady who gives young men odd winks, her school isn't exactly what one would call "normal." Not to mention that nearly every teacher already knows who she is because of her overrated, older brother (who just so happens to have a shady past that her parents try desperately to keep hushed).
But everything is about to change with the arrival of a mysterious new teacher. Amusing and charming as he may be, Victoria suspects there is more to him than meets the eye. Her very life is on the line, as she struggles to determine who she can or cannot trust-a constant wonder if her teacher is out to do her more harm than good. With this worry, she faces choices that weigh risk against loyalty. One wrong decision could end her life.
