Summary:
"Perfect for fans of The School for Good and Evil and A Tale of Magic..., this Barnes & Noble Childrens Book Award finalist and Amazon Best Book of the Month is a charming fantasy debut that puts a new spin on the legend of Camelot Twelve-year-old Ellie cant help that shes a witch, the most hated member of society. Determined to prove her worth and eschew her heritage, Ellie applies to the Fairy Godmother Academy--her golden ticket to societal acceptance. But Ellies dreams are squashed when she receives the dreaded draft letter to serve as a knight of King Arthurs legendary Round Table. She can get out of the draft--but only if she saves a lost cause. Enter Caedmon, a boy from Wisconsin struggling with the death of his best friend. He first dismisses the draft as ridiculous; magic cant possibly exist. But when Merlins ancient magic foretells his familys death if he doesnt follow through, he travels to the knights castle, where he learns of a wicked curse leeching the knights of their power. To break the curse, Ellie and Caedmon must pass a series of deathly trials and reforge the lost, shattered sword of Excalibur. And unless Ellie accepts her witch magic and Caedmon rises to become the knight hes meant to be, they will both fail--and the world will fall to the same darkness that brought King Arthur and Camelot to ruin."-- Provided by publisher.
