Description

“We’re a hoarding school, not a boarding school…”

That’s what Cassie Carter is told on her first day at Carnarvon’s College of Archaeology and Ancients – a place full of cursed artefacts, secret vaults, and magic that refuses to stay buried.

When eleven-year-old Cassie receives an invitation to attend the mysterious school, deep in the Suffolk countryside, she can’t believe her luck. But soon she learns that history at Carnarvon’s isn’t something you just study – it’s something that fights back.

At the heart of it all lies the Dark Sundial, a relic said to twist time itself. With danger in every shadow, Cassie and her new friends must uncover the truth… and Cassie must dig deep to discover who she really is.

A thrilling middle-grade fantasy adventure packed with mystery, humour, and heart – perfect for fans of Percy Jackson, Nevermoor, and Amari and the Night Brothers.

Step into Carnarvon’s College… if you dare.
