Synopsis:

One final adventure for Ropa Moyo, orphan, mischief-maker and failed magician. Secrets of the First School is the mystery-filled finale to T. L. Huchu’s enchanting Edinburgh Nights series.

‘I’ve had my arse kicked more times than I can count’

Ropa Moyo is dead. Banished to the Other Place by the reanimated spirit of Henry Dundas, 1st Viscount Melville of Scotland. Turns out, being on the losing side sucks worse than being skint.

Now, the Cult of Dundas intends to ascend to godhood, spreading their corrupting reach from Edinburgh to all of Scotland’s schools of magic. Ropa must find some way to escape the Other Place, save her sister, and gather allies across the country before Edinburgh falls.

A royal plot, a family secret, and a stolen body. As Scotland descends into petty in-fighting, Ropa’s only inkling of hope lies in her grandmother’s final secret: Scotland’s first school of magic.

An ancient magic is returning . . . and hungry for revenge.
