Publisher Description

You Don't Choose The Academy. The Academy Chooses You.

Being accepted into an elite school of magic, monsters, and assassins was not my idea of higher education. But here I am, fighting my way through the Culling Trials to claim my right to be taught.

As if the gauntlet-type physical and mental tests aren't enough, people are going missing.

People that are my friends.

In a dangerous world where no one is as they seem, the golden rule is simple: Trust no one. They think we should just look out for ourselves. That we should leave the fallen behind and ask no questions.

They clearly think we're idiots. I got this far by trusting my instincts, and I'm not going to back down now.

Those kids won't be left to die.

Not on my watch.

Shadowspell Academy novels offer delicious cliffhangers that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the final book - Shadowspell Academy: Year of the Chameleon (Book 6)
