Birchbane Institute is not a place for the misbehaved, the wayward, or the rebellious - but its newest student, eighteen year old Storm, is all three of those things.

Hidden in the Swiss mountains, this proud institution is an exclusive bastion of tradition and refinement, where for hundreds of years the daughters of the rich and powerful have been molded into perfectly poised young ladies.

Storm wants none of that.

When forced to attend Birchbane, she quickly sets about trying to get expelled by being an unholy terror, scandalizing the staff, influencing other girls to rebel, and creating scenes of chaos and anarchy in the previously quiet and refined halls.

This behavior inevitably puts Storm at direct and painful odds with resident disciplinarian, Jane Strict. Naturally, Storm rebels against Jane's discipline just as she rebels against everything else, but she may have met her match in the stern woman.

Will Jane's attentions finally calm the tempest inside Storm? Or will this young woman make good on her vow to bring Birchbane, and everyone in it, to their knees?
