So, I'm leaning toward this for the back blurb for Spiral Path.

"The world is woven of secrets."

Ritual magic and wild magic are a dangerous mix.  That's what they believe at Windward School.  But when Alfreda Sorensson leaves her pioneer home in the Michigan Territory to take refuge at the elite New York academy, her wild magic places her in direct conflict with the ritual magic taught to both young Americans and Europeans.

There's a steep learning curve for ritual magic and for getting along with other magic users.  Windward is a curious place where half the professors may not be human.  It's a last chance for students who can't control their magic, and a place where everything is a test, in one way or another.

At first Alfreda thinks her greatest challenge will be mastering ritual magic.  Then she learns that there may be traitors close at hand--traitors to the school and to the new nation.  War between the United States and England is looming, and Alfreda answers the call.  Only after she spies her way into an enemy magician's estate does she learn the true challenge of her power--

Because when dark magic finds her, she's utterly on her own.
