Magnolia in Ilium

Twelve-year-old Magnolia Bannister is quite content living on her parent's magical showboat, the Theodora, a vessel that transports magicians to all points of the compass. Her world is perfect, up until the moment her parents decide to go and do something dumb, like enrolling her in a boarding school for magician children in the city of Ilium.Feeling betrayed, Magnolia plots to run away, but then changes her mind when she meets a three-hundred-year-old magician who gives her a special ring and tells her that "things won't go so well" in her future if she doesn't accept it.And soon, Magnolia finds herself caught up in a madcap adventure at Gryndells when her roommate (whose pet hedgehog is not what it seems) starts acting strange and then disappears. Together with three classmates who are eager to help her solve the mystery behind five missing students and five missing dragon teeth, Magnolia is catapulted into an adventure that will change her life forever.
