Power remade her. Desire might destroy her.Still reeling from the traumatic acquisition of her powers, newly Made witch Vic Wood is determined to master the magic now coursing through her - and to prove herself worthy of the Acheron Order, the secret society of witches that controls the Veil between the living and the dead. But the Order is on the brink of all-out war, and training within the shadowed walls of Avalon Castle means encountering danger at every turn: rivalries sharpen, alliances shift, and every lesson cuts deeper than the last.When a training accident nearly kills her, Vic is saved by Xan, the Order's Chief Sentinel, in an act of forbidden magic that binds their fates in ways neither can escape. As their connection deepens, so do the fractures in Vic’s loyalties. Vic finds herself caught between the rules that bind her and the power that could break them. And as old secrets rise to the surface, one truth becomes clear - she can become the weapon the Order needs to win this war, but it will demand more than magic. It will cost her everything.The stunning second book in the explosive Acheron Order series: for fans of NINTH HOUSE and THE ATLAS SIX, with the monster-hunting action scenes of BUFFY!
