First, I was a failing War Mage. Now, I'm also everyone's target. I thought dealing with the demons was terrible, but now I'm officially leading the War Mages. It was an accident, I swear. I'm sixteen, giving orders to arrogant people decades older than me. What could go wrong? When the demons close in and I'm to blame, I can't avoid the terrifying part anymore.

My new battle partner's also silenced by a curse that turns him into a cat every time he tries to open up. Yes, I have a fae battle partner who can't lie OR tell the truth. Which is a shame, because he's not bad looking in his true form, and we get along better than I do with my family.

Figures Giselle would turn out to be the child of literal Chaos. As a budding immortal who could mold into anything, staying in Cursed Academy doesn't bode well.

But fighting back means destroying Wendy with her uncontrollable powers, which will turn her into a dark goddess for sure. Certain she'll get paired to fight Wendy during Combat Exams, there's just one way for Giselle to save herself: get Wendy expelled.

That's hard when all Ronin wants is to keep her safe. Can Giselle risk her friendships, her future, and possibly even Ronin's heart?

It doesn't help that my life's imploding, Brendan's still hard to figure out, my mom's about to learn my secret, and Bathory's taken over the local military. The only hope of stopping her might be the man I just rescued, Richard Grimes, CEO of the Abnormal Treatment Centers and supernatural hater by default. But is he? And who, exactly, am I?
