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.

The rain fell in earnest now, but because we stood in Quiet's magical bubble, it kept silent. It soaked through my cloak, and none of it made a single ripple over Quiet's surface.


At the bottom corner of the bridge, the lilywort grew wide open to drink in the rain, and thorns grew around the perimeter of its orange petals like sharpened teeth. A stone skipped down into my stomach and crashed there with heavy doubt. I couldn't guarantee I could do this without making a sound, and without losing body parts, but if I did...


I squared my shoulders and firmed my lips against any noise that might escape. I could do this. I had to.
