Everyone thought Ivy Heartwell had lost her mind when she refused to believe her best friend died last year at Arcania Academy.
A witch who sealed her fate in blood, she knows one overlooked detail remains: a scar from a reckless ritual that ties them to a dark secret.
Her acceptance letter confirms the friend is alive, drawing Ivy into mysterious magic and a pursuit that stalks her around every corner.
At the scene of another crime she is caught with Ezra Thaler, the arrogant, handsome man hiding last year's truth so he can finish one last favor and escape his father.
Ezra's ex-boyfriend, Silas Craine, watches that new relationship with dark interest, while a dangerous power beneath the school waits on their lies.
