IT HAS BEEN A YEAR OF CHANGE since Gemma Doyle arrived at the foreboding Spence Academy. Her mother murdered, her father a laudanum addict, Gemma has relied on an unsuspected strength and has discovered an ability to travel to an enchanted world called the realms, where dark magic runs wild. Despite certain peril, Gemma has bound the magic to herself and forged unlikely new alliances. Now, as Gemma approaches her London debut, the time has come to test these bonds. The Order - the mysterious group her mother was once part of - is grappling for control of the realms, as is the Rakshana. Spence''s burned East Wing is being rebuilt, but why now? Gemma and her friends see Pippa, but she is not the same. And their friendship faces its gravest trial as Gemma must decide once and for all what role she is meant for.

Ha pasado ya un tiempo desde que Gemma estuvo por última vez en los reinos. Si embargo, una visita inesperada a la Academia Spence la llevará de vuelta al mundo mágico: Kartik, el guapo y misterioso miembro de los Rakshana que acechaba a Gemma en el primer volumen, le ha pedido que regrese y ate la magia que quedo libre la ultima vez, antes de que caiga en las manos equivocadas.

Después de la muerte de su madre en extrañas circunstancias, Gemma empieza una nueva vida en Inglaterra, estudiando en la Academia Spence, un prestigioso internado para señoritas. Allí se verá inmersa en misteriosas situaciones, y casi sin quererlo, formará parte de La Orden, una antigua hermandad de mujeres con poderes mágicos, como el de cruzar una puerta hacia los reinos donde viven los espíritus de los muertos y seres maravillosos.

Gemma Doyle y sus amigas, Felicity y Ann, se preparan para su presentación en sociedad, que será en unos meses y ante la presencia de la mismísima reina Victoria. Pero impulsada por otros acontecimientos que no dejan de atormentarla, Gemma se enfrenta al destino que amenaza con hundirla en el caos, no sólo en los Reinos, sino también en la rígida sociedad donde vive y cuyas reglas ha desafiado. A caballo entre dos mundos, Gemma intentará restablecer el equilibrio y devolver la magia al lugar que ésta reclama.

Where does Gemma really belong? And will she, can she, survive?

Gemma Doyle no es como las demás chicas. Chicas de modales impecables, que sólo hablan cuando se les habla, que son conscientes de su condición, que bailan con gracia y que piensan lo que se espera que piensen. No, Gemma, a sus dieciseis años, es un mundo aparte, a la que envian a la Academia Spence cuando la tragedia se abate sobre su familia. Y es en esa academia donde se desarrolla la capacidad de Gemma para atraer lo sobrenatural; alli entabla amistad con las chicas mas poderosas de la escuela y descubre la relacion de su recien fallecida madre con un grupo tenebroso e imperecedero llamado la Orden. Es alli donde la aguarda su destino... solo si Gemma llega a creer en el. La Orden de Spence Academy es uno de esos libros que uno lee acurrucado bajo una manta... un amplio lienzo de faldas susurrantes, sombras que se agitan e imagenes que asustan. Es un retrato vivido de la era victoriana, un periodo de una moralidad muy estricta y una sensualidad apenas reprimida, cuando se educaba a las niñas para ser las esposas de hombres ricos... Esta es la historia de una chica que queria otra cosa.LIBBA BRAY
