Shackleton's School for Seekers is a haven for students as diverse as the magical gifts they possess. But as the new class of Seekers soon learn, the ability to hear voices from the past or sense an object's history can lead to great knowledge...and even greater danger.
When Fern, Jordan, and Zack are selected for a mysterious class trip with Shackleton's fearless Dr. Adichie, they've only just begun to explore the limits of their powers. It's clear their teacher knows more than she's letting on about the kids' gifts--and the dangers they'll be facing. But when an unexpected accident separates the trio from their instructor and leaves them stranded on an uncharted island, they'll have to learn to rely on each other to survive the hostile environment and the Seekers' equally hostile rivals, the Keepers. This gorgeously illustrated graphic novel is now in print for the first time after its successful debut on the Epic! platform.Author Biography
