Junior year is here! Katie Adams and her friends return for another exciting year at the Hannum Academy for Intellectual Advancement, or as it’s better known, the Oddity Academy. In a world populated with strange abilities, unique gifts, and otherworldly monsters, these teens are just trying to make the grade. This year, however, schoolwork isn’t the only thing that keeps the students’ noses buried in books…As signs of an ancient prophecy unfold, so does a plan on stopping the End Times. After having a visitor in the form of a Dwarf over summer break, Katie returns to school with a roadmap towards salvation. However, while searching for answers to the problem, one of her friends inadvertently unleashes a new element into the game. During his quest for a Dwarven artifact, Hannibal Madison releases a Jinni of Muspelheim from her protection against the looming threat. In doing so, gives the ringleader of Nightshade Circus the perfect opportunity to finally get his way. Though, after a long discussion about the state of the world, the Jinni agrees to help the school in its fight against the last Devourer. A choice that comes at a cost, as Nightshade wants her help as well, and will do just about anything to get it.While the students uncover the lost secrets of the Eschaton, the End Times prophecy, Nightshade sends its Ghoulies to the school in hope of stealing the Jinni away for its own dark purposes. Unfortunately, the Circus takes its time attempting to reach its goal, a new tactic from the ringleader, and a dangerous shift away from impatience that calls everything into question. But that doesn’t mean work on the solution stops, or that classes don’t continue to give out homework. ‘Upon the hour of Midnight, Twelve Keys be struck’, and time keeps moving them ever closer to that fateful moment. Can the students find the answer to the greatest riddle in time, or will Nightshade finally succeed in its quest?Dark plots, tough lessons, joyous moments, and budding love all swirl together as the ever-expanding group of brave teens explore a world filled will Ghoulies and Ghosties and long-legged Beasties.
