Book Synopsis

A girl joins the human resistance against sorcerer tyranny in this "breathless" (Kirkus Reviews, starred review) first book in the exciting upper middle grade fantasy series The Incorruptibles that's Keeper of the Lost Cities meets The Marvellers.

Fiora Barrowling lives in a world where sorcerers rule over humans. After surviving an encounter with The Radiance--the very worst of the sorcerers--she's whisked away to the incredible Incorruptibles ("Inc") Academy, a school for resistance fighters in training.
