I inherited forty acres of Louisiana bayou from a great-aunt I met once. She looked at me across a diner table when I was eleven and said: you'll do. Twenty-six years old and I still don't know what she was asking. The land came with conditions. A blood tithe, paid at the last hard frost. A boundary that has to be walked. And four creatures who have been keeping this property for over a century, waiting for someone with Vauclain blood to come home and pay what's owed. The one in the house has been here since before the house.

I arrived at The Obsidian Marrow as a Null—a hollow space where magic goes to die. I didn't realize I was the one who was going to devour it all. In a world governed by blood oaths and ancient lineages, being a "Null" is a death sentence. At the elite Obsidian Marrow, I’m the lowest of the low, a girl with a void where a soul should be. I was supposed to be a sacrifice—a battery to be used and discarded by the elite of the Iron Vow Society. But the mountain has other plans. And so do the three monsters who rule its shadows.

She found the bodies. The Headmaster smiled and gave her a pardon. Scarlett uncovered the worst secret in Obsidian Marrow Academy and lived. Now Malakor — three-thousand-year-old Lich, institutional monster, and the calmest creature she's ever wanted to destroy — has told her to continue her studies. She knows what that means. She's not forgiven. She's being watched. The void inside her is getting hungrier, and the only thing keeping it from swallowing her whole is the three of them. Draven, whose shadows settle around her like a second skin.
