The hallowed halls of Arcane Arts Academy are no place for an orphan who peddles illegal potions and lives out of a caravan . . . and yet here I am.

After my volatile magic nearly killed a bunch of mortals, I thought for sure I'd be carted off to Kalzir prison, but they sent me here instead. Gave me shackles under the guise of mercy for my crimes.

As if that wasn't bad enough, there are wolf shifters in the woods on campus, secrets hidden in the walls, and a hot teacher who may or may not want me as much as I want him.

But dangerous distractions aside, I'm about to find out that some secrets have claws and if I'm not careful, these ones will swallow me whole.
