She couldn't save her beautiful, corrupt city from the dark power beneath the catacombs. And she couldn't save herself. Banished to the Burnt Isles, Lore must use every skill she earned on the streets of Dellaire to survive the desolate prison colony and figure out a way to defeat the power that's captured everything and everyone she holds dear.

Witchlight Cove was supposed to be a fresh start. Instead, I’ve discovered a long-lost grandfather, my best friend’s hiding a massive secret, and the Eternal Flame has disappeared—only the most important magical artefact in town.

Without them, there is no messenger.

Ice ruins permeated by death. A deranged vampire and her pet demon. Visions of Nightshade Academy on fire. Just another chapter in the nightmare that has become the life of Nova Ray. Helena, Nightshade's benefactor, wants me and my twin, Archer, to find some portal leading into another world, one full of angels and demons.

My mom is dead. She committed suicide. It wasn’t supposed to be this way. I was going to beat my bloodlust and go back to her. Now I have nothing except for an addiction to Kian’s blood and a twin I didn’t know about. My twin’s name is Archer, and our Colors are reactive. I’m dangerous enough on my own. With Archer, I’m worse. We drain the auras of living things.

Eighteen-year-old Nova Ray didn't have big plans for the future. She was comfortable living life quietly and unseen with her mother, but all of that changed the night a mysterious man triggered her curse and revealed her vampire nature. Nova would have killed someone that night, maybe even her human mother, if she hadn't been found and taken to Nightshade Academy first. But her troubles are far from over.

The corrupt king August is dead. Prince Bastian has seized the throne and raised Lore - a necromancer and former smuggler - to his right hand side. Together they plan to cut out the rot from the heart of the sainted court and help the people of Dellaire. But not everyone is happy with the changes. The nobles are sowing dissent, the Kyrithean Empire is beating down their door and Lore's old allies are pulling away. Even Prince Bastian's changed. No longer the hopeful, rakish, charismatic man Lore knows and loves, instead he's reckless, domineering and cold.

Monster hunters, demons, Nightshade's mysterious benefactor. There's a lot about this world I don't know, and it keeps getting worse. Kian's blood is the only thing I can stomach. Our Colors react, and he knows things about me he shouldn't. The headmaster of Nightshade Academy says she's never seen a blood sensitivity as bad as mine, which is probably a nice way of saying my bloodlust is out of control. I'm starting to think I'll never get out of here or see my mom again. But I'm not giving up.
