A girl, later named Evie because she has no name, leaves her family in a far away place, traveling through the haunted forests to come to the bustling city in order to enlist at Pennyroyal Academy. Pennyroyal Academy trains future princesses and knights in order to fight the war against the witches and dragons. Ever fearful of being cut and having to leave the Academy, Evie must survive the rigorous training by the Fairy Drillsergeant while also navigating this new world of friendships and enemies, of mean girls and cute boys. The outside war continues to get closer to the Academy while also becoming closer and alarmingly personal for Evie. She must draw on all her strength and courage in order to not just stay at Pennyroyal Academy but also to just stay alive.
