Leda’s entire world shifts after the events prior to winter break. To half the school, she’s a hero. To the other half, she’s now public enemy number one.
Her friends, who she’d hoped might put her in the first category, no longer trust her, either, and not only because of everything she lied about over the previous year. The suddenly looming presence of their least favorite person, the prince prick of Malcroix Academy, definitely doesn’t help, especially after he decides abruptly, without consulting Leda, that he no longer wants to keep their ‘friendship'' a secret.
Meanwhile, events outside the school’s walls are heating up, with governments across Magique growing increasingly unstable after the capture of the charismatic ‘face’ of Dark Cathedral. Violence erupts from their supporters, and calls for the release of the prisoners grows louder and more insistent.
Then students begin to disappear from Malcroix Bones campus. Never the royals, Leda notices, yet always plucked from among the most gifted of the ‘lesser-blooded’ witches and mages. Before Magical law enforcement can find them, they always reappear, and claim to have no memory of where they were.
Yet rumors circulate around school that they come back different.
When one of her dearest friends disappears, Leda panics, determined to find them before they can be changed beyond recognition, too.
