Description

A spellbinding new year at Dunhollow Academy of Witchcraft brings an elite magical tournament, an edge-of-your-seat love triangle, and the perfect dash of deadliness. . . Rose would have left the dark halls of Dunhollow Academy forever - but she cannot leave Sylvie, her heart and soul, behind in the Academy's rotten core. And after months honing her newfound magic, Rose is stronger now - ready for whatever the elites of Dunhollow can throw at her. Or so she thinks. She hasn't bargained on the academy hosting The Ashwood Tournament, a prestigious, once-in-a-decade contest against rival magical academies. The prize is glory, but the stakes are deadly - only the most elite contestants stand a chance. No one is surprised when Sylvie is among the chosen. But then Rose's name is selected too...
