Alyse Merrison is thirteen now, and she knows Wonder is real.
The trouble is that Greyborough has a way of making impossible things feel distant.
Back at Vellumgate University, familiar friends and places are waiting - but familiarity does not mean safety. Strange inconsistencies, unreliable memories, old records, and a mysterious mirror suggest that some truths become harder to see the closer you stand to them.
As another year of magic, friendship, competition, and adventure unfolds, Alyse must learn a lesson more difficult than any spell: knowing something once does not mean you understand it forever.
Wonder remembers. The question is what - and whom - Alyse can trust when memory itself begins asking questions.
