He finds himself back out on the street, unsure what to do next.Then Millicent Jorgensen, meditating in front of a mirror, decides to cross over and join him. Unfortunately she has no way to return – save through the giant mirror at the church. Realising he has an obligation to look after his former student, Albrecht takes her back to the church.But High Priest Ruthan and his disciples have tired of simply lurking in the shadows, hiding from the authorities while trying to recruit new followers.

Lessons are tedious, equipment is old and broken, bats roosting in the rafters keep dropping presents on her notebook - and then there is scullery duty, which involves taking rubbish out to the epic compost heap, known to swallow children whole.Alice’s new friend Toby, once a popular kid at her primary school, has become an outcast; her old enemy Carla needs help to learn how to change into her new animal form, and a little omniwere boy who can only change into tiny creatures like rats and rabbits has developed a crush on her.Alice must also learn how to use her new vampire powers responsibly without succumbing to the lure of the darkness.To make matters worse, Professor Abbacus, a teacher Alice thought liked her, now seems to want to kill her. It is all Alice can do to keep one step ahead of him and all of his devious, convoluted plans to punish her for the destruction of the Holloway Grimoire.Also available:Nocturnal AcademyNocturnal Academy 3 - Immaterial GirlNocturnal Academy 4 - The Supernatural CircusNocturnal Academy 5 - Mage against the MachineNocturnal Academy 6 - The Da Vinci CodexNocturnal Academy 7 - School of ThoughtNocturnal Academy 8 - The Lonely HouseNocturnal Academy 9 - Mirror MirrorNocturnal Academy 10 - The Nightmare GamesNocturnal Academy 11 - TunguskaNocturnal Academy 12 - Wall of FireNocturnal Academy 13 - When Gods CollideNocturnal Academy 14 - Infinite TimesNocturnal Academy 15 - The Dark Magick Side of the MoonNocturnal Academy Omnibus - Books 1-3Nocturnal University 1 - Higher LearningNocturnal University 2 - Course of DestructionAlso available by Ethan Somerville for younger readers:Lockout; an action-packed futuristic adventure about teenagers with psychic powers.Return to Atlantis; a sci-fi romance for teenagers about a schoolgirl who falls in love with a rock star who is really an exiled Atlantean rebel.Dicing with the Universe: an exciting cyberpunk action-adventure for teenagers and young adults spanning three different time periods.
