A splintering peace. A forgotten past. A girl who might be the key to it all.

In the small kingdom of Rionn, sixteen-year-old Alyx Egalion's noble birth has always protected her. But when the king sends her to the mage training academy of DarkSkull Hall, everything changes.

At DarkSkull, power is everything and survival is never guaranteed. Alyx is forced to confront a world she was never prepared for. She can't access her magic. She doesn't know who to trust. And the only thing standing between her and failure is a growing bond with a misfit group of fellow students -- each hiding their own scars and secrets.

As Alyx uncovers the truth about her past and the shadows gathering beyond DarkSkull's walls, she's faced with an impossible choice: cling to the life she was meant to have -- or embrace the one that could save them all.

Perfect for fans of found family, magical academies, and heroines who grow into their power.
