Last spring, Dawn found her older brother dead in a pool of his blood. His killer stood over him, wearing a smile as sharp and ghastly as his knife.

Last summer, she tracked the killer down. He's a student at Necromancer Academy and part of a secret fraternity known as the Diabolicals.

This fall, Dawn will scrap her admission to the prestigious White Magic Academy. She'll trade sparkly healing charms and bright dresses for death charms and black cloaks. She'll melt into the shadowy halls of Necromancer Academy.

And she will have her revenge.

Necromancer Uprising Series

In the entryway, professors spoke quietly within clusters, and they didn't notice me stepping free from the dark. Or trying to. Shadowy fingers curled over my shoulders and dragged at the back of my cloak. I shook free of them, but I had no idea what would happen if I couldn't.


I took up the two plates of food I'd hidden, headed back to my room - and stopped with a jolt outside our door. Three marks sliced across the wood. Like claw marks, but much bigger than a cat. And my protection symbol was gone.


A shudder rippled across my shoulders as I threw open the door.


I blinked around our room, noting the rumpled blankets on her bed and her boots still next to her desk.


"Nebbles?" I said, placing the plates on my desk.


I found the cat under the bed, and when she saw my face, she hissed and spat. Her ears lay flat and her eyes were enormous.


That earned me a swipe, but she was too tucked into the back corner to land it.
