A Drop of Anguish

A soulless monster is hunting me. I might be a magicless human, but I won't be easy prey.

Everyone at Shadow Hills Academy thinks they know who I am. A weak magicless human whose only claim to power was her relationship with the demon prince, Jarron.

The girl who's so desperate for power, she'd be willing to kill her peers in a competition. A broken-hearted girl who wasn't good enough to keep the attention of a prince.

They're wrong. I don't want their magic. All I care about is finding the demon that killed my sister. But that's difficult when I'm public enemy number one at school. Not to mention the ominous notes I keep receiving signed "the Jinn."

Soon, I realize just how little I know about the games, and my sister's death.

When Jarron returns, a shell of his former self, things get even more complicated. The dark beast inside of him is growing, clawing at him from the inside. There isn't a cure for his sickness in any of my books but that won't stop me from seeking out any possible solution. Even if it means consulting with the enemy.

The jinn has a plan for her next set of games. She knows my every weakness. And this time, she will not stop until I'm one of the contestants.
