Description The world is woven of secrets.
I was born with lightning in one hand and mercy in the other, but what I need is the pattern to my tapestry of power.
Danger drove me from the primeval American wilderness to Windward Academy, where the Wizard of Manhattan offers me one last chance to learn magical control.
Windward--where every word, every breath is a test.
Every lesson can be deadly.
And every challenge can explode out of the schoolroom and into the realms of demons.
Sometimes a shadow is so dark it arrives before the sun.
Reviews: enjoy the total immersion in Kimbriel's alternate early America -Publishers Weekly Magic and treason form a deadly maze for Alfreda, one of my favorite heroes, returning to public life in one of my favorite fantasy series.

series has had me racing for the end and wishing for more.
Spiral Path is no exception.
Kimbriel's enticing and lyrical prose and knowledge of the arcane will hook new readers and delight old ones as well.
- Rebecca Mc Farland Kyle, Amazon Top 500 Reviewer A gem: .
Crafted with precision and heart, this tale shimmers with imagination, adventure, and characters who burst alive from the page.
More, please - Sara Stamey, author of Islands Much of the adventure here is the adventure of boarding school with a magical twist, but there are other things going on in the background, and Allie can no more avoid trouble than she can avoid breathing.
She's just far too intelligent, inquisitive, and brave, not to mention impetuous.
This is a lot of fun.
Recommended.
