The archmage of darkness has returned…

Beatrice

The Academy was supposed to be a fresh start, but instead, I’ve discovered that my power—protection and empathy—might be the key to unraveling an ancient war. Zero, the leader of the Exiled, has spent decades manipulating the world and now wants me as his pawn. Sab and Nate believe I can stop him, but their secrets are almost as dangerous as Zero’s plans. Every step forward feels like I’m walking into a trap, and I’m not sure I have the strength to spring it.

Sab

Zero’s plans are more intricate than I thought possible. He’s already made his move, placing someone in the Academy to disrupt everything we’ve built. I’ve been here before—watching my cousin twist the world to his will—and I won’t let him do it again. Beatrice has a power that could rival his, but the cost of using it might be more than she’s willing to pay.

Nate

I came to the Academy to spy on Beatrice for Zero. What I didn’t expect was for her to turn everything upside down. Her magic, her trust—it’s not something I deserve, but it’s also not something I can ignore. Zero wants her as his replacement. The Council wants her as their savior. And me? I’m the wildcard no one saw coming.
