A new semester means new surprises at Miss Coleridge's Academy for Gifted Youths. Elsie tries her best to be a good Guardian, but a few terrible mistakes causes Elsewhere's trust in her to falter. To make matters worse, Gifted kids from around the world have gone missing, taken somewhere the Gateways can't reach. A mysterious figure offers Elsie a tempting solution-a way to keep Gifts for good instead of borrowing them-but the deal comes with a heavy price.
Do the ends truly justify the means?
