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

My brain might as well have been dripping out of my ears. As Seph and I made our way to breakfast in the Gathering Room the next morning, students couldn't fling themselves away from me fast enough. I'd even had a proper bath, the first one in months without just a bucket and a sponge, and fresh coal dying my hair instead of smeared all over my face.


"She killed Vickie to get her out of the way so she could get to Ramsey, you know," a brunette said, loud enough so I'd be sure to hear.


Their voices and glares chased after me and flamed my cheeks hotter, but I refused to break in front of them. I stared at each one with my head held high. It didn't matter what they thought of me, because part of what they thought was true. I'd come to this academy to kill someone, and even though I hadn't, the darkness they saw inside of me was real.


Seph leaned in as we neared the Gathering Room doors. "We can take breakfast back to our room, if you want."
