This novel depicts the struggle of the school with the devious villain, Gustav Strauss and his henchman, Maximillian. Gustav is obsessed with taking over the gold and silver mine that is the financial arm of the school. The school is devoted to educating orphan girls to be benevolent and responsible citizens of the work. Their instruction involves traditional disciplines of education along with special training in the arts of herbology and potions, levitation, and telekinesis. The school founder, Tiffany Galloway and her coven of former elite students (all endowed with special powers) must work together to defeat the goals of Gustav and his escapades that strive to destroy the school and their way of life. If successful Gustav will also endanger and possibly bring to extinction, the mutant NoBodys, who are the mine workers. Several of his diabolical plans need to be met head-on and overcome to bring about a successful resolution.
