  48. The Rosewood Houses
  49. THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING

When designing the series, my publisher found me an artist, Qing Han, a young woman with a sharp sense of humour and impossibly positive attitude, whose incredible detailed work had inspired millions of people from every corner of the globe. She weaved her unfortunate and unfair medical circumstances into inspiring messages of hope through her art, some of which consisted of young women painting stars into the air or crying galaxies, which is exactly what she did. She took hold of her situation and painted magic into our world. What Qing provided for the Rosewood series is immeasurable and it would not be what it is without her. She gave the books that feel of escape and wonder the moment you touched a copy, and with the cover art she provided for the series she brought it to life and made it real.

I cannot thank her enough for what she did for my books, and I know she, more than anyone, would take what we all feel about her passing and turn it into something beautiful. Rosewood will not be the same without her, but I hope we can all strive in her name to bring a little magic into the world.

The Rosewood Houses

Righteous, resolute, resourceful

There are three Rosewood houses:
IVY, CONCH and STRATUS.
Which one do you belong to? Read the house descriptions and pick the one that suits you most.

House Colour: Purple

Ivy is home to the righteous.
Named after Florence Ivy, famed humanitarian and first woman to attend Rosewood Hall, it is the house of pioneers, poets and philanthropists. An Ivy student is not afraid to stand out or stand up for what they believe in.

House Colour: Red

Conch is the home of the resolute.
Fierce and forthright, a Conch student’s greatest strength is their strength of will. Named in honour of Balthazar Conch who fought off a wolf to save a fellow student, Conch is considered the loyalist house.

House Colour: Yellow

Stratus is home to the resourceful,
the creatives, the puzzle-solvers. Founded by twin artists Shray and Sana Stratus, who said: ‘Our heads might seem as though they are in the clouds but that is only because we are observing everything.’
