Rogue Magic (The Natural Order) (Volume 2)

Just before Tristan returns for his second year at the Lair, he wakes to the smell of smoke. His house is on fire, and he suspects Darla Merridy is involved. His professors think otherwise. Accused once again of arson, Tristan is certain someone is targeting their school. For some reason, groups of mountaineers have suddenly begun leading tours through their valley—in the dead of winter. And Zeke’s home mysteriously disappeared in a mudslide over the summer. But no one listens to him. Meanwhile, classes have begun, and this time Tristan and Amber are learning to use the Map Room themselves. Amidst a flurry of arguments and anger, the students are forced to reconcile themselves with the school’s dark purpose. Yet something is lurking in the forest nearby, and it won’t stay hidden forever. As the future heads of the school, Tristan and Amber have to make a choice. Should they leave the school vulnerable? Or should they take control of the Map Room and cause a bit of havoc of their own?
