Carmen DeVine is a nuisance. At least, that's what the Dean of Magic at Winnley~Howles University keeps telling her. Accepted into America's most prestigious institution for witches and warlocks, Carmen has only one issue: She doesn't have a lick of magic! As a dormant witch, she spends her first few weeks keeping a low profile and trying not to get laughed out of Intro to Spell Casting class. She's one practical exam away from being expelled until her grandmother finds an old necklace case from her late parents in the attic. Inside is a beautiful amulet-with her name on it. One click of the clasp changes everything. The moment the silver touches her skin, the magic gates burst open. Carmen isn't just magical-she's a lightening rod for trouble. Her newly awakened powers are rare and mysterious and exactly what one vampire has spent centuries looking for. But danger lies inside the gothic halls of Winnley~Howles as well. When a fellow student is tragically found dead under violent circumstances, the university is sent into a spiral of fear and silence. While the professors look the other way, Carmen dives into the mystery soon uncovering a dark truth about the attacks. She must figure out why the attacks are happening before she becomes another tragic headline. (C) All rights reserved.
