Nexus Academy 2: Darkness Rising (Nexus Academy #2)
Callie Madden
The supernatural bonds that connect her to four powerful guardians—the calculating angel Dominion, the lethal hybrid Gideon, the chaotic demon Lynx, and the ancient Zorrander—were supposed to protect her. Instead, Celine discovers that good intentions and impossible choices can wound deeper than any blade. The betrayal wasn't meant to destroy her, but it did anyway, leaving her questioning everything she thought she knew about loyalty, sacrifice, and the price of being humanity's Key.
As she struggles to rebuild herself, the academy fractures around her. Students and faculty choose sides, some viewing her as humanity's savior while others see her as a dangerous corruption that threatens everything they've sworn to protect. But darker forces are moving within the shadows—ambitious factions with their own vision for the future, and not all of them include humanity's survival. Every alliance comes with a price, every friendship carries the risk of another betrayal, and Celine finds herself isolated even among those sworn to protect her.
Meanwhile, the First Shepherd has been hunting. While she withdrew into herself, he painted the country in blood—cities silenced overnight, families erased without trace, massacres so brutal they redefine the meaning of horror. Each attack carries the same Come to me, little Key, or watch them all burn.
When the academy's betrayals collide with the First Shepherd's escalating violence, Celine discovers that some enemies prefer to work from within. Now she must navigate treacherous alliances and question every loyalty, all while racing to stop an ancient evil who has grown far deadlier than anyone imagined.
The hunt is on. And this time, the fate of every human soul hangs in the balance.
Some bonds are forged in battle. Others are broken by impossible choices. And some enemies hide behind familiar faces.
