Nightschool: The Weirn Books Books in Order

Nightschool: The Weirn Books is a supernatural series set in a city where two worlds overlap: by day, an ordinary high school; by night, a hidden “Nightschool” for witches, vampires, shifters, and other beings from the Night Realm. At the center of it all is Alex Treveney, a young weirn whose life is bound up with a dangerous prophecy.

Weirns are a particular kind of witch born with an astral, a guardian spirit that hovers around them like a living, smoky shadow. Alex has always been home-schooled by her older sister, Sarah, and keeps her distance from other students. She is sarcastic, stubborn, and far more powerful than she lets on. When Sarah takes a job as the school’s night keeper and then mysteriously disappears, with memories of her beginning to fray, Alex is forced to confront the school she has avoided and the forces moving beneath it.

The Nightschool itself is a brilliant hook: during the day it is just another building in the city, but at sunset it shifts into a kind of supernatural campus. Weirns, vampires, shifters, seers, and demons attend classes that range from standard subjects like math to spellcraft and astral training. Teachers enforce a fragile peace between species, while an organization known as the Hunters patrols the boundaries between the Night Realm and the human world, tasked with enforcing an old treaty.

As the volumes progress, Alex sneaks into the school, then officially enrolls, all while trying to untangle what happened to Sarah. Parallel to her story, we follow a trio of young Hunters and their mentor as they investigate a series of magical incidents. Their paths cross with Alex’s in messy, sometimes hostile ways, especially once everyone realizes that an ancient group of beings called the Sohrem has broken free of its seal and is looking for new hosts.

What starts as a story about a girl trying not to deal with people widens into a conspiracy involving lost time, cursed bloodlines, and the question of who gets to decide which creatures are monsters. The Hunters, for example, see themselves as protectors but carry their own dark history. Alex herself is not simply innocent; a curse in her past means that her emotions and words can have explosive, literal consequences.

Despite the heavy stakes, the series keeps room for humor. Astrals have distinct personalities and often behave like mischievous pets. Classroom scenes show students cheating, gossiping, and sneakily using magic when they should not. The cast is large and diverse, with friendships and rivalries that feel grounded even when the characters are centuries-old beings.

Readers coming from Berrybrook Middle School or The Weirn Books will find a related mythology here, but with a slightly older tone: more action, more danger, and more moral gray areas. It is a good fit for teens who like school stories with a strong fantasy backbone and a heroine who would absolutely roll her eyes at being called chosen.
