The Halls of the Vanished (The Arcania Academy, #1)

A witch sealed her fate with blood, only to find two men determined to make her pay the cost.

Everyone thought Ivy Heartwell had gone mad when she refused to believe her best friend died last year at Arcania Academy. Despite irrefutable evidence found at the magical graduate school, one detail was overlooked: a scar from a reckless ritual, tying them to a dark secret.

When Ivy receives confirmation that her best friend’s alive within her own acceptance letter, she’s thrust into a world of mysterious magic and stalked around every corner. And worse? She’s caught at the scene of another crime with Ezra Thaler, the most arrogant yet handsome man she’s ever had the displeasure of meeting.

Ezra hates that he’s forced to do one last favor to secure his freedom, but he’ll do anything to escape his father. Even if that means keeping what happened to Ivy’s friend last year hidden. Except his ex-boyfriend, Silas Craine, is watching his every move while taking a dark interest in Ezra’s new relationship.

But when the dangerous power beneath the school is discovered, will their lies and secrets allow it to creep from the shadows?
