The Sidhe Academy is where Opal (aka the future Lady R) went to school. She skipped class and got sucked up to, often. I had teachers, students and the all-important librarian mapped out. Why? There was the great mystery of who had taken Opal’s books… and how Grayson knew the way to cast mirrors. Opal slowly changed her appearance from a regular osmos far into someone who really needed to lay off the make-up. This was becoming the Sidhe Academy book. I had to cut the whole thing, although it was necessary to work this out in order for the story to keep moving.
