Who—or what—is stalking the students at Oakhurst Academy?
In the wake of the accident that killed her family, Spirit White is spirited away to Oakhurst Academy, a combination school and orphanage in the middle of Montana. There she learns she is a legacy—not only to the school, which her parents also attended, but to magic.
All the students at Oakhurst have magical powers, and although Spirit's hasn't manifested itself yet, the administrators insist she has one. Spirit isn't sure she cares. Devastated by the loss of her family, she finds comfort with a group of friends: Burke Hallows, Lachlann Spears, Muirin Shae, and Adelaide Lake.
But something strange is going on at Oakhurst. Students start disappearing under mysterious circumstances, and the school seems to be trying to cover it up. Spirit and her friends must find out what's happening—before one of them becomes the next victim…

Legacies (Shadow Grail Series #1)
Spirit White loses her entire hippie family in a car crash and is sent to live at Oakhurst Academy, where she learns she's a Legacy, a magician. Everyone at Oakhurst has one or more magic gifts that fall into one or more of the four schools of magic, based on the four elements - fire, water, earth and air. Poor Spirit can't seem to figure out what her power is, though--
--Yeah, her name is Spirit. Spirit. Get it? GOSH, I WONDER WHAT HER POWER IS GOING TO TURN OUT TO BE!
Substitute plot and original characters for ye olde Arthurian stand-by template, desperately try to inject a bit of youthfulness by using outdated pop-culture references and hilariously misplaced netspeak, and top it all off with the main character pausing every fourth page or so to remind us what a boring, awful place her new school is, and you've pretty much got this book summed up. Enjoyable read? Not so much. Even the main character and her "friends" begin every info-dump discussion (of which there are plenty - wouldn't want to break the flow of the story with actual adventures or anything) by talking about how crazy and unlikely and convoluted everything is.
Look, if you're the type of person who enjoys books where character-development is ignored in favour of pages upon pages of (dull) descriptions of completely irrelevant scenery, architecture, and ipods, then this is the book for you. If you enjoy books where the main character spends more time musing over the colours of her school uniform than pondering the mysterious and sinister deaths of her entire family, then stop reading this review and get a copy of this book instead. If you're just dying to read a story where the villain turns out to be the most over-used cliché in western fantasy litterature, then HUNT down a copy of this book pronto!
