Description
A witch hiding a dangerous secret is thrust into an elite magical academy, where survival means risking her life and her heart—in the standalone follow-up to Spells, Strings, and Forgotten Things.
Dark secrets. Deadly choices. A destiny that can’t be outrun. Welcome to Shadowcraft Academy.
Eléa Deniz dreads going home to the French countryside after leaving four years ago. Upon her return, she finds the estate has become host to the Shadowcraft Academy, an elite graduate school where a world of mysteries and power plays await. What’s worse, her father is the enigmatic and ruthless headmaster with an agenda of his own. And then she discovers a prophecy about her magic that could change everything.
As her power is tested, Eléa becomes torn between Alex, her stoic first love whose loyalties are as murky as his past, and the brash, irreverent Logan, who challenges her to see herself in new ways. Faced with family secrets, a secret society, and the weight of her own magic, Eléa must reclaim her power and forge her own path. Destiny is calling . . . and it demands a price.
The Sisters of Light and Shadow duology begins in Spells, Strings, and Forgotten Things!
