Betrayal

ebook

There are the small betrayals: the unkind word, the petty lies. And there are the betrayals that break hearts, destroy worlds, and turn the strong sweet light of day into bitter dust.

When Evie Johnson started at Wyldcliffe Abbey School for Young Ladies, her life changed in ways she couldn't possibly have envisioned: the discovery of her link with Lady Agnes, her special bond with Helen and Sarah, and their sisterhood in the astonishing secrets of the Mystic Way. Above all, Evie's love for Sebastian has turned her world upside down.

Now Evie returns to Wyldcliffe for another term and more danger. Surrounded by enemies, she lives every day in fear that Sebastian will fall into the darkness of servitude to the Unconquered Lords. The Wyldcliffe coven is plotting to destroy Evie and use Sebastian to secure their own immortality. Evie and her sisters must master the power of the Talisman before it is too late. But could it be Sebastian himself who will ultimately betray Evie?

In this companion to Gillian Shields's dazzling Immortal, magic and sweeping romance cross the bounds of time to deliver heart-stopping emotion and suspense.

      Gr 7-10-This sequel to Immortal (HarperTeen, 2009) finds Evie Johnson returning to Wyldcliffe Abbey School for Young Ladies after her grandmother's funeral, but things have changed quite a bit at the exclusive boarding school since Evie's first semester. She and her two closest friends must battle evil teachers who hope to discover the secrets that will lead them to immortality. Using messages from the ancestor who first uncovered the magic to which she is heir, Evie struggles to defeat the coven and save her true love, Sebastian, whose doomed quest for everlasting life has left him stuck somewhere between life and death, from the sinister forces leading him to darkness. Told from both Evie's and Sebastian's perspectives, and introducing a band of Gypsies and a strange new student, this sequel is missing the romance of its predecessor. While those who did not read the first book may have difficulty understanding what is happening, fans of Immortal (HarperTeen, 2009) will enjoy discovering the fate of the nefarious headmistress and her minions and will cheer Evie and her friends on to victory. Give this modern-day magical romance series to readers who are drawn to Libba Bray's "Gemma Doyle" trilogy (Delacorte).-Sharon Grover, Hedberg Public Library, Janesville, WI
