Wake Unto Me

Wake Unto Me by Lisa Cach, 2011 Speak

   Haunted by nightmares and the ghost of a Renaissance witch, Caitlyn Monahan leaves her small-town Oregon life behind for a chance at the Fortune School in rural France. Upon arriving at the exclusive boarding school, Caitlyn is offered a deal by the headmistress: succeed and the Fortune School will make her a mover and shaker in the world, fail and she will be thrown back into the obscurity from which she was plucked.
     Caitlyn isn't sure what is expected from her, but when she begins to have dreams about a young man from the Renaissance she draws a connection between the ghost Bianca and her new romance. The vivid dreams begin to consume her and the task set before her fades in importance.
     When her beau vanishes and a history book shows he's been murdered, Caitlyn doesn't know how to respond. Was her dream something she dreamed, or real?
     The Fortune School is dark and dreary, but within its halls are young women with the same troubles as any teen with a spark of something darker flickering through. Caitlyn's talents have marked her to fit into the exclusive school, but will they allow her to stay? Wake Unto Me is aimed at high school readers.
