The Star of Promise
St Elowen’s, Book 1. By A.R. Brown
Some doors are locked for a reason. Some lights must never go out.
All Emily Ashworth wants, on her first day at St Elowen’s, is to belong. What she finds is a midnight feast, a secret den among the pines, and a small golden light in a locked tower that nobody will explain.
About the book
All Emily Ashworth wants, on her first day at St Elowen’s, is to belong.
What she finds is a midnight feast that lands the whole dormitory in trouble. A silver star, hidden in a pudding, that chooses her before she has done a single thing to earn it. A secret den deep among the pines, and a society of the truest friends a girl could wish for.
And, high in a locked tower where no one is allowed to climb, a small golden light that burns in the dead of night, and that nobody at St Elowen’s will explain.
Emily is determined to discover who lights it, and why.
Step through the gates of St Elowen’s. You may never want to leave.
The world of St Elowen’s
St Elowen’s is a great, rambling house at the end of a long drive, and it is also a way of going on. There has been a school there for a hundred and fifty years, and in a hundred and fifty years a school gathers a great many secrets.
