Book 2: Neve and the Book of Magic
I open the artifact cabinet to take a closer look at the ancient statue. "Tally, I think this is a statue of me."
"What?" She reaches in and picks up the statue. "I think you're...!"
Suddenly, we hear a weird scraping noise coming from the floor behind us. We both spin around.
"What the...!" Tally exclaims.
A large stone floor tile is slowly sliding open, revealing a shallow hole in the floor. We slowly approach the opening and peer in.
The story begins when Neve receives a letter from her Uncle Cormac, a professor of Irish Mythology at Blackrock College. He promises to visit her in Cloone on her upcoming 13th birthday with important news about her past, present, and future. But when he fails to show up and later vanishes without a trace, Neve knows something is terribly wrong.
Determined to uncover the truth, Neve sets out with her fearless and quirky best friend Tally and Tally's skeptical brother Dara on a quest that leads them to Blackrock College, a sprawling, eerie building perched on a cliff in the town of Rossmore, overlooking the wild Atlantic Ocean.
Inside the college, the trio discover hidden passageways, secret chambers, and an ancient book-The Book of Prophecies and Magic. But before they can learn more, Dara vanishes, and Neve and Tally realize they are caught in something far more dangerous than they ever imagined.
The deeper they dig, the clearer it becomes that Neve is at the heart of an ancient Shee prophecy.
