A witch sealed her fate with blood, only to be tangled with two men determined to make her pay the cost. 

Everyone thought Ivy Heartwell had gone mad when she refused to believe her best friend died last year at Arcania Academy. Despite irrefutable evidence found at the magical graduate school, one detail was overlooked: a scar from a reckless blood ritual, tying their fate to a dark secret. 

When Ivy receives a note from her best friend tucked inside her own acceptance letter, she’s thrust into a world of mysterious magic where a hidden figure stalks her around every corner. To make matters worse? She’s caught at the scene of another crime with Ezra Thaler, the most arrogant and handsome man whose magic reacts with hers in a way she’s never experienced before.

Ezra hates that he’s forced to do one last favor for his family to secure his freedom, but he’ll do whatever it takes to get away from his abusive father. Even if that means keeping Ivy in the dark about what happened to her friend last year. But Ezra’s ex-boyfriend, Silas Craine, is watching his every move and has taken a dark interest in Ezra’s new relationship.

But when the dangerous power hiding beneath the school is discovered, will their lies and secrets allow it to creep from the shadows?
