Publisher Description

I shouldn't exist. As the daughter of a demon and human, I was smuggled to a secret academy to be raised and educated instead of slaughtered. It's the one place my kind are protected and our talents nurtured, until the night someone close to me is murdered and a precious book is stolen--one with information that could mean the end of us all.

Not content with the investigation, I launch my own hunt for the killer, where I cross paths with Rafe, a guy that burns hotter than the sun. Unfortunately for me, he's a Watcher--an angel-human hybrid tasked with protecting the mortal realm from demons. When it turns out we may be able to help each other in our quests, I'm only too happy for an excuse to spend time with him beyond the watchful eyes of the Elders.

It's a risky venture, especially when there are creatures hellbent on killing me. Good thing I have a sword--and a few latent powers I didn't know about. Now I need to find the killer and return the book to the academy where it belongs, or risk losing everyone and everything I care about.

Spire of Shadows is the first book in the Wings and Blades Academy trilogy that will send you on an action-packed magical adventure filled with found family, romance, humor, and mythology.

*Please note that this book was previously published in 2019 as Demonspawn Academy: Trial One.
