It turns out the people on this island are being trained to hunt the darkness—basically, they’re being trained to hunt me. To survive, I have to hide what I am. As a half-mage, I shouldn't have any magic at all. And yet, my natural abilities are almost impossibly powerful—and incredibly illegal.

All but me, and I have no idea why. As the trials get more and more challenging, it’s clear I’m being hunted. If I’m caught… I die. At Blackbriar Academy, nothing is ever as it seems... but I have nowhere else to go. Nothing, and no one, will stand in my way.

But I’m not sitting around waiting for them to strike. I’m tracking one of their shadow mages, who holds the key to the other pieces of the powerful meteorite that chose me. It’s mine to carry, and mine to wield. My patron mage granted me a vision.    One that compels me to reunite the last two pieces of meteorite and transform into the warrior I was meant to be. In order to do this, I must wake the dead, slay man-eating beasts, and defeat a Blackbriar professor I thought I could trust. The greatest battle Blackbriar has seen in a thousand years comes crashing down on us. And not everyone is ready. The Order planned the perfect attack, but I will end this with the perfect revenge. When they endanger innocent lives and try to rip apart my home, it means war. As we’re betrayed and have our backs are against the wall, I’m grateful I’m not alone. My four handsome men and some daring allies push back, fighting against the darkness that threatens to destroy us all. My final recourse is a powerful spell. One that killed the only other person who used it. To save the school and all those I love, I may have to recite an earth-shattering incantation, despite the consequences. This is the final battle—and there is no turning back.   The Battle for Blackbriar Academy is a full-length novel with a badass heroine, a riveting storyline, and an alternative relationship dynamic that supports our badass heroine's right to choose more than one man.
