The hidden knife

Marr, Melissa2021
Book
Twenty years ago, a door opened between the world of humans and the Netherwhere, allowing entry to its magical creatures. Some, like the kelpies and fairies, who bite, are best avoided. But the wise and wonderful gargoyles show a special affection for humans. Vicky has grown up under the watchful eye of a gargoyle named Rupert. She's gifted at swordcraft and magic but can't figure out why her mother, once one of the queen's fearless Ravens, keeps her hidden away and won't let her train at the elite Corvus school. When Vicky's world is rocked in a devastating attack, she realizes it is time for her to use her gifts. But knowing who to trust isn't easy, so she bands together with an alchemy student and a former street thief to seek answers on the perilous streets of Glass City. And all the while, the gargoyles watch and nudge toward healing, not harming. With their steadying influence, Vicky and her friends just might be the generation to expose the court's secrets and find a way to a better future for all.
