Valerie doesn't like counting on her luck to get her out of bad scrapes, but so far that seems to be all that's keeping her alive. That and her natural abilities as a magic user, which she isn't ready to trust, either. Once more, Valerie and the rest of her friends are back at school, but this time she knows something that no one else does. She knows the name of someone who might be able to help them... moreValerie doesn't like counting on her luck to get her out of bad scrapes, but so far that seems to be all that's keeping her alive. That and her natural abilities as a magic user, which she isn't ready to trust, either. Once more, Valerie and the rest of her friends are back at school, but this time she knows something that no one else does. She knows the name of someone who might be able to help them. Might be able to help her stop the war, stop the Pure, stop the magic that could very easily wipe out the entire world. The problem is that there's no guarantee she survives another encounter with serious magic. Even the woman who came to help her thought that she was better off not doing anything. She should let the fighters fight while she learns whatever she can. She's not strong enough to fight the Pure. None of them are. Is her luck going to hold out long enough? Or will the Council's machinations and the Pure's ambition finally force her into a confrontation that she might not make it out of? Class is in session, and Valerie is scrambling to get herself ready for a fight with real magic. Jump back in now! less

The students and teachers of Survival School made a decision: they were no longer on a side.No longer willing to go along with the Council, and having struck a significant blow against the Superiors, Valerie, Ethan, Sasha, Lady Harrington and the rest are declaring independence on behalf of Survival School. They've had the summer to prepare and are now opening for business, but there's no way this is going to go easy. The Council aren't going to let them go in peace... moreThe students and teachers of Survival School made a decision: they were no longer on a side.No longer willing to go along with the Council, and having struck a significant blow against the Superiors, Valerie, Ethan, Sasha, Lady Harrington and the rest are declaring independence on behalf of Survival School.

Can they withstand attacks from both sides in the meantime? And can Valerie keep out of trouble long enough to be around to be there when it happens?Well. Maybe, maybe not, but either way, it's going to be one heck of a semester. less
