Auburn Academy trains the most gifted fairies in the realm — Elemental, Potion, and Anguish Fairies — inside seven sprawling buildings, each steeped in magic and danger. But one building has been sealed for decades: the Seventh, once home to the Emotion Fairies… until they were hunted to extinction.Emma Watson is the last of her kind, hiding her identity under suppression potions and iron self-control. When her emotions break free, she summons creatures of devastating power — molten Inferno Hounds, shadowed seraphs, river beasts — each tied to the feelings she can’t afford to show. But as rivalries flare, secrets unravel, and the Academy itself seems to be watching, Emma must decide who to trust: Carter, the perfect gentleman of the Aeris Spire; Lavender, the guarded genius of potions… or Tee-jay, the boy with a crooked smile, a tragic past, and the power to both calm and destroy her.If the truth gets out, the Seventh Building’s doors may open again — and Auburn Academy will burn.
