Sophie has spent her whole life preparing for this moment. As the most beautiful girl in Gavaldon, she knows the kidnappers will choose her for the School for Good. She practices good deeds, wears pink dresses, and dreams of becoming a storybook princess. Her best friend Agatha seems destined for the opposite fate. With her black clothes, mean cat, and hatred of most people, Agatha belongs at the School for Evil. But when the mysterious kidnappers finally arrive, everything goes wrong. Sophie finds herself dumped at the School for Evil, forced to take classes in Death Curses and Henchmen Training. Agatha lands at the School for Good, surrounded by princes and taught Princess Etiquette. Both girls insist the schools made a terrible mistake. Sophie belongs with the heroes, not the villains.

What if this apparent error reveals something true about who they really are?
