The Hawthorn Group has a new leader, and he’s itching to send all supernaturals to the Alderwood Reformatory. One wrong move, and I’ll be sent off to that prison masquerading as a school, where I’m viewed as a traitor to my own kind. Staying out of trouble becomes a near impossibility when the boy I love starts growing wings and battling dark, demonic urges. A malevolent essence is growing within him, consuming him with its power. Turning to the supernaturals of Alderwood Reformatory, who I’ve been warned to fear, may be my only chance to bring Justin back from the edge.

For centuries, humans and dragons existed side-by-side in Alveria, bonded by their care of one another. But no longer. After decades with no viable eggs, humans far outnumber dragons, and the survival of the species appears bleak. The outlook for everyday humans is little better as rogue dragons raid and torment villages. Yet it’s far worse for the tamers, beaten and killed simply for serving the noble dragons. But eking by at the bottom of Alverian society isn’t any easier for 17-year-old Kaelan Younger. Harder still when her loyalty to the dragon crown is no secret.  

Entering Blackburn Academy was supposed to be a dream come true. Instead, I’m trapped in a nightmare. A group known as The Elites rule the campus with fear and cruelty. They kill vampires for sport. Worst of all... they think I’m one of them. Only my boyfriend, Justin, knows my deadly truth and he’s suddenly gone missing. The only person who I can turn to for help is Mitch Holter, my Elite bodyguard and the biggest bully at Blackburn. I had no way of knowing the dark and sinister nature of the Academy’s secret traditions. Now, my only goal is to survive the night.

A year ago, I woke in the morgue with a note in my hand telling me that I’m a vampire. I need blood or I’ll start killing people. Lucky for me, Justin has been sneaking into my bedroom and feeding me blood for a year, and the only price I have to pay for it is putting up with his cruel snipes and my unwanted feelings for him. I just can’t figure out why he keeps coming back. But all that changes when I’m offered a full-ride scholarship to Justin’s mysterious school, the elite Blackburn Academy, where I might finally learn about vampires. About myself.

Invasion is imminent. Skirmishes have erupted all across Alveria’s borders, but the lingering effects of the sickness have left the dragon guard weakened. Unprepared for a strike at the heart of the kingdom, difficult alliances must now be made to protect them all. Circumstances at the Akademy are no better. Kaelan Younger’s attempts to learn more about her renegade father and the Terra dragon fighting for the enemy are complicated by tapestries that refuse to reveal their secrets.

Their power is in the strength of their bond. But deceit threatens to break it. It’s official. Kaelan Younger has finally been accepted as a dragon tamer at the Akademy. Yet even as she begins to learn the extent of her powers, a mysterious illness stalks the dragons and threatens Prince Lasaro. More than her bond with the prince is endangered when Kaelan seeks help from a most unlikely source. As a result, the lies to cover her deception mount. 

When Alveria is plunged into a pitch-black darkness, can a dragon-shifter labelled as "Untameable" and the dragon-hunter sent to kill her, bond together to save their world? Laini Unclaimed, a maid at the Alveria Palace, thought supervising a kid's birthday party of young dragons was going to be the hardest part of her day. Then a never-ending darkness falls across Alveria, and an army of monsters are unleashed from the underworld.

Loyalty will bind them together - or tear them apart. Nightfall still holds Alveria in its grip. Terrifying ghosts continue to haunt the stricken kingdom, while crops wither in the fields from lack of sunlight. If the light doesn’t return soon, thousands will starve. But a worse fate awaits the Untameables. Laini Unclaimed has revealed the shocking truth discovered after her journey to the hallowed realm: The gods are not lost but have instead been reborn on Earth as mere mortals in order to face their ultimate destruction for rejecting Hel.

What about plants? Don't animals eat other animals? There are no perfect vegans, so why bother?

Colb takes these questions at face value and also delves deeply into the motivations behind them, coming up with answers that are not only intelligent but insightful about human nature. 

The only way to save Alveria is to end the war - by any means necessary. After horrendous losses among their ranks, the Untameables are still reeling, none more than Laini Unclaimed. The battles against the forces of Hel have stripped Laini of those she loves most. Now with Hel closing in, little hope remains to save the reincarnated gods trapped in the underworld, including the young man she loves. Until she hears about the Book of Death. Laini must race against the forces of darkness to restore her family and return the light to her dying world.

Luckily for you, I can share some amazing tips that will have you on your toes, knees, back, and ass. Don’t worry, your guy can thank me later.
