Adaliah Solaris has only ever known one thing: she was abandoned on an orphanage doorstep as a mere infant. She’s spent her years wary of what lies beyond the mildew-scented building she calls home while she’s nearly invisible within it. That is, until her seventeenth birthday arrives with a mysterious letter summoning her to Ladaria Academy, a school of glistening magic, winged fae, dangerous secrets, and unspoken rules. As her gifts emerge and a burning sigil is branded into her skin, she realizes the school’s polished stone halls are hiding much more than mere history. With a shadow-marked figure haunting her dreams … and reality, Adaliah finds that nearly everyone is whispering of powers long forgotten, rising war, and of the destiny she has been branded with. All the while, two very different boys-the loyal, infuriatingly protective Killian and the secretive, shadow-touched Nox-battle for her heart, even as she struggles to keep herself from drowning in the sea that is Ladaria Academy. With both a power-hungry king and a mysterious shadow clan calling her name, the price of unlocking the truth, along with the power buried within her skin, may cost everything she never knew she could miss.
