A young woman arrives at Crystal Hollow with murder in her heart. Her father shaped her into a weapon against the Coven that stole his sister and birthright. Now she must protect her younger brother from the same fate. She enrolls at Hollow's Grove University, where magical students study without fear of human persecution. The school's Headmaster, Alaric Grayson Thorne, becomes her primary obstacle. Their mutual hatred burns fierce, yet neither can ignore their attraction. The university harbors dark secrets. Decades ago, a massacre forced the school to close. No one speaks of the bloody events or the victims who died. Now Hollow's Grove reopens its wards to welcome the Thirteen, exceptional students chosen to reshape the world. But the ghosts of past victims still walk these halls, and they hunger for vengeance against the living.
