There, Ava and her brother, Jax, discover that the Olympian gods founded the Accademia to teach the descendants of mythological monsters how to control their emotions and their powers and become functioning, well-adjusted members of society.But not everything at the Accademia is as it seems. After her friend Fia is almost expelled for challenging a teacher, Ava realizes the school is hiding a dangerous secret. To uncover the truth, Ava and her new friends embark on an adventure that could change the way they view history, mythology--and themselves--forever...or end their lives.

Katherine Marsh was born in Kingston, New York. An only child, she grew up devouring books and listening to family stories of immigration: three of her four grandparents arrived in the United States as immigrants, one of them at just seventeen years old. After graduating with a degree in English Literature from Yale, she worked for a year as a teacher in a high school, before starting her career as a journalist, which has led her to collaborate with media such as Rolling Stone, The Washington City Paper, and The New Republic. She is the author of several children's and young adult books, such as The Night Tourist, winner of the Edgar Award for Best Juvenile Mystery Novel; Jepp, Who Defied the Stars, and The Door by the Staircase. Her latest novel, A Place in the World, was inspired by her experience living three years in Brussels with her family. She currently resides in Washington D.C., along with her husband, two children, two cats, and three chickens.
