Maeve's summer is anything but a break as she remains at  Spellcrest Academy for an intense session of summer school. With her  time in captivity leaving her far behind, she has a lot to catch up on  if she hopes to graduate alongside her friends.

But simply  passing her classes and earning the title of Master Classman isn’t her  only challenge. Maeve’s captor is still out there, and he’s determined  to reclaim what he lost.

As Maeve tries to focus on her studies,  the haunting memories of her imprisonment and the fractures in reality  it caused continue to plague her. What if her escape was never truly  real?

Even Maeve can’t do it all on her own. To prevent herself  from becoming another collectable, she’ll need the help of family and  friends.

Maeve’s sapient year concludes with the gripping ninth book of the Spellcrest Academy series.
