The Academy of Light: The Quest for the Aura

After Eyre's family is killed in a house fire she goes to live with some old friends of her parents, people she has not met before. An encounter with malign beings called the Gothak reveal that she is part of a world of ‘Lightworkers’—people with special powers—a world Eyre never knew existed. She is conflicted as to why her parents kept this information from her, but joins her new friends to try out for a place in the Academy of Light, where students learn how to be a Lightworker. Places are competitive and Eyre is not sure whether she will be accepted or not. Determined to prove herself, she undergoes the intense training and faces several challenges before she finds out if she will be selected to study at the Academy of Light.
