Brokenhearted after a horrific event, Cora is left to pick up the pieces of her life as best she can. She knew it wouldn’t be easy, but she didn’t expect to have to deal with the guys she used to call friends— those same ones that had turned their backs on her.

Unable to leave without risking her future, Cora has to figure out how to make the situation work. But things aren’t what they seem to be on the surface, something dark lurks on the grounds of Blackbriar Academy, and it’s fixated on the new girl.

Cora knows she has to tough it out or find a way to break her contract. What she doesn’t know is just how far she’ll have to venture into the darkness to find the light at the end.
