Lana and Emma are shocked to discover magic is real. Can they survive the mysterious Praxos academy? Or will evil get to them first?Adopted sisters Lana Beth and Emma Jane are polar opposites, but when the same strange 'tattoo' suddenly appears on their skin and winds its way up their bodies within days of each other, they soon realise there's more to their relationship than they could ever have imagined.Leaving their island home and family behind, they are sent off to London to be initiated into the ancient Praxos Foundation, where the sisters must prove themselves worthy of this supernatural cause. But it's not so easy to accomplish when the sweet but sometimes pesky ghost of Josiah Grimshaw just won't leave them alone-especially when there's also a group of crazy, scary, evil Skulls to contend with.
