Description
Firespell by Chloe Neill is the first book in The Dark Elite series, a fast-paced urban fantasy adventure for young adults. The story follows sixteen-year-old Lily Parker, whose life is turned upside down when her guardians abruptly send her to St. Sophia’s, an elite boarding school in Chicago. Surrounded by spoiled, fashion-obsessed classmates, Lily quickly realises the bullies aren’t the only sinister presence lurking in the school’s ancient halls.
As strange noises echo through the old building and shadows shift in unsettling ways, Lily finds solace in her sharp-witted roommate Scout.

When Lily is accidentally drawn into this hidden world and encounters the terrifying firespell, she faces difficult choices about loyalty, courage, and the price of power.
Blending mystery, humour, and supernatural suspense, Firespell is ideal for readers who enjoy boarding school intrigue mixed with dark magic and paranormal danger. It’s a lively, entertaining read for fans of series like Vampire Academy and Hex Hall.
