Shadows Rising

By Zora Stone

The Heart of Eternity has chosen, and Kaia Draven's life just got even more complicated.

Now she's not just managing her growing shadow army (featuring one militant commander, one obsessive note-taker, and a cat with serious authority issues)-she's also bound to five dangerously powerful men, each claiming a different part of her heart and magic.

But when a mission into Absentia reveals dark truths about ancient bonds and the price of her bloodline, Kaia must face an impossible choice. Something is still missing from the pattern of power connecting them all-and the ache in her chest suggests she knows exactly what it is.

As corruption spreads and ancient forces stir, Kaia will have to decide who she can trust-because saving the realms may mean confronting the one bond she's tried hardest to deny.

Welcome back to Arcanum Academy-where the magic is deadly, the politics are deadlier, and falling for five dangerously devoted mages might be the deadliest thing of all.
