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.

"Just stand guard inside the door for now," Seph instructed as I sat down opposite her again.


Echo began tucking her cloak around her. "To run for help when this all goes bad?"


"To relight the candles in case they go out," Seph said, smoothing the napkin. "Once we get started, we can't break the circle. Even if someone's hand goes up your cloak."


Echo sighed. "I should've worn some chastity armor or something."


Jon raised his hand. "Quick question, how many candles do you need to be kept lit?"


Seph nodded, distracted as she continued fussing with the napkin. "Yes."
