Cleaning up the academy just got . . . personal.
Up to now, my life has been kind of a fairy tale-the down-on-her-luck janitor turned war mage, tapped to help four super-hot college wizards win a magic competition, while they become my very own Prince Charmings.
Except now, as our final and deadliest challenge looms, I'm supposed to bond with the last mage of the group, Rafe. And he's nothing like I expect.
With the barest smile, he seduces me. With the softest touch, he electrifies me. From our very first kiss, he opens me to a haunting, forsaken power that binds me to him, body and soul.
Even worse, I know-know-that Rafe is hiding a terrible secret. One that threatens to shatter him into a million pieces . . . or shatter me instead. But I haven't come this far to lose this gorgeous, tortured wizard to his twisted magic. I haven't come this far to lose any of them.
So Bring. It. On.
At the academy, it's time to drop the mop.
I never thought I'd miss being a janitor, but at least I knew what I was doing in that job. Now I'm a great and mighty war mage trying to help a team of college wizards win a magic competition, and I'm desperately afraid of screwing up.
To make matters worse, my four gorgeous, powerful teammates totally believe in me, none more so than dangerously sexy, unnervingly intense Marcus Winter. Marcus knows he can make me stronger . . . but only if I'm willing to let him unlock my deepest desires.
Um . . . k.
Marcus has his own reasons for wanting to win the Mage Trials. Three years ago, he lost his cousins to the game. Now there's the faintest hint they might be alive-but to find them, we'll have to pull out all the stops. Marcus is willing to do whatever it takes to level me up . . .
And I might just let him.
Gulp.
At the academy, everyone's playing a little dirty . . .
Up until a few weeks ago, the only dirt I dished at the Twyst Academy of Magecraft came from scrubbing its floors. Now I've learned that deep within these hallowed halls, sinister secrets hide everywhere.
I try to focus on my new job as janitor-turned-war mage, helping my team of four super-hot college wizards win an insanely intense magic competition, but it isn't easy.
Especially since I've barely come to terms with falling for Connor, the most carefree mage in our group . . . only to develop a mind-blowing crush on Luke, the biggest, scariest mage I've ever met. Which, um, is complicated.
And when Luke is nearly killed to keep the explosive truth about his past hidden, something fierce and deadly rages to life inside me. Because I've got secrets, too . . .
Life at the academy just got . . . messy.
I've always dreamed of getting into a top college, but after a stint in juvie, my school prospects went sideways fast. Now I work at a magic academy . . . as a janitor. Ironic, right?
Okay, so maybe I get a kick out of secretly solving the arcane equations the professors leave on the board for the rich, entitled student wizards. I'm broke, not stupid.
Except then I get caught by the hottest mage on campus . . . who ropes me into helping him and his three equally gorgeous friends win a decidedly screwed-up magic competition.
Easy enough, I think-until I start setting things on fire and getting chased by smoke-faced monsters and fighting side by side with four of the sexiest, most powerful wizards ever . . . and find myself-just maybe-falling in love . . .
With all of them.
Whoops.
