My whole world changed when I stepped inside the academy. Here I am, a mere mortal among gods…or monsters. I can’t decide which of these warring factions I belong to. I only know the one thing that unites them is their hatred of me. Then there’s Jaxon Vega. A vampire with deadly secrets. But there’s something broken in him that somehow fits with what’s broken in me. Which could spell death for us all. My return to Katmere Academy is haunted by fragments of days I don’t remember. I’m also struggling to understand who—or what—I really am. Hudson keeps insisting there are secrets I don’t know, ones that could drive a wedge between Jaxon and me forever. But with enemies at our doorstep, I’m fighting for my life and everyone else’s. And it’s going to require sacrifice…maybe more than what I can give. Between trying to graduate from a school for supernaturals and a dumpster fire of a relationship, I’m hitting my breaking point. And to make matters worse, there’s an arrest warrant for Hudson’s and my supposed crimes―which includes a lifetime prison sentence with a deadly unbreakable curse. But when has anything at Katmere Academy been intense? Now choices need to be made...and I fear not everyone will survive. No one survived the last battle unscathed. Flint is angry at the world, Jaxon is unrecognizable, and Hudson has put up a wall to keep everyone out—including me. But war is coming and we’re not ready. There’s no guarantee that anyone will survive when the dust settles, but if we want to save this world, I have no choice. I’ll have to embrace every part of me...even the parts I fear the most. After Katmere, I shouldn’t be surprised by anything. Yet here I am, stuck in the Shadow Realm—a strange, dangerous place—with the monster that other monsters fear: . He might be Jaxon’s brother and ridiculously hot, but he’s a complete bona fide pain in my ass. He’s also convinced that the reason we’re stuck here. And the worst part? There’s something connecting us. Something stronger than fear…and way more bloody dangerous. The Circle is collapsing. The Vampire Court has no king, the Dragon Court has no heart, and the Gargoyle Court has me—a teenager in way over her head. And now a threat is brewing. All I know is that everyone’s life hangs in the balance. And it’s my fault—because I still owe the Crone a favor…and now she’s come to collect.
