At a deadly magical academy where failure means death, a girl cursed with forbidden power must survive deadly trials, ruthless hunts, and an addictive attraction to the one man she shouldn't trust. This sequel to USA Today bestselling Wicked Onyx is packed with found family, slow-burn romance, and heart-stopping, high-stakes twists.

Nightsbridge Academy has a dark soul—and he knows my name.

With a fragment of my stolen power restored, I should feel whole . . . alive. Instead, my magic has evolved into something dangerous and unwanted. But the truth is impossible to ignore. I am no ordinary sorcerer. I am a Veil Walker.

If I want to get my hands on the Libra Veritas, I can't afford any distractions—especially not the spirit world clawing at me. That's easier said than done when I'm fast-tracked into advanced classes, dragged onto active hunt duty, and placed under the supervision of the last man I could ever trust—Sterling Damascus.

Horrors are evolving. Students are disappearing. And revenge has a flavor I can almost taste. Between brutal hunts and a tincture designed to reveal a monster's truest self, I'm learning that power always comes with consequences. So does desire.

At Nightsbridge, love can get you killed, magic never forgets, and surviving is only the beginning. Class is back in session—and this time, the dark is hunting back.

Contains mature themes.
