Wren Winters had barely survived an attack that decimated her team, leaving her the sole survivor, haunted by guilt and unresolved rage. Her every step at the Academy was shadowed by memories of screams and loss, an echo of darkness that clung desperately to her soul. In this charged atmosphere, she crossed paths with Seth Paulson, a student tormented by prophetic visions of doom and despair.

I’ve always felt too much—emotions, energies, the storm of others’ feelings battering my mind. But now, something darker is closing in. My dreams are poisoned with emptiness, and I can barely keep my walls intact. Xander’s fire steadies me, Bryce’s shadow shields me, but we’re not just fighting for balance anymore—we’re fighting for our lives against a darkness that feels too familiar.

The shadows have always been with me—silent, waiting, and dangerous. After the accident that took my parents, they became my curse, my secret. Now at the Academy, surrounded by other summoners, my control is slipping. The memories I buried are clawing their way back, and a stranger’s touch has stirred something I can’t explain. I should leave before I hurt someone, but how can I when the only thing darker than my magic is the truth hiding in my past?
