Vera Fiore is cursed. With bones like glass, she has spent her life chasing freedom-freedom from her fragile bones, freedom to study magic, and freedom to pursue the adventure. When she begins her studies at Sage University, she believes she has finally found it. Instead, the school's ancient wards become her cage.
After a trusted professor violently attacks Vera-revealed to be possessed by an unknown force-the professor's death marks the beginning of a series of escalating murder attempts. When the headmistress is killed, it becomes impossible to deny the truth: Vera isn't just in the way. She's the target. Someone within Sage University is trying to eliminate her, while someone far older and more powerful lurks beyond the school's barriers, seeking to possess her body for a purpose she doesn't yet understand.
Unable to leave the campus without surrendering the only protection keeping her alive, Vera is forced to rely on Luciano Castillo, a vampire professor whose motives are as inscrutable as his past. Luciano claims he is the only one who can help her avoid possession and survive long enough to uncover the truth. But his knowledge places him at the center of the mystery, where every secret carries teeth and trust may be the most dangerous gamble of all.
Trapped between two equally terrible fates, Vera must unravel the truth behind these attacks while forging alliances, dodging sinister plots, and learning to embrace the intuitive magic she has always kept at arm's length.

Crescent | SAMPLE
For the fae, magic is everything: status, power, wealth, honor. For Vera Reite, a fae born with no magic, it is a shameful reminder that she will never amount to anything. Whispers of a fae-killing monster begin to circulate the Moon Court. It lurks in the woods, feeding off the mana of its victims. Those that go missing and find themselves at the mercy of the beast are never seen or heard from again. Fear quickly takes hold of the fae court; it's only a matter of time before their whole world is destroyed by this creature. However, it offers Vera a glimmer of hope. When she learns of it, she ventures into the wood to kill the beast, believing that she will be able to absorb the magic it has stolen. But the woods are as dangerous as the beast, and Vera soon finds herself lost. In a stroke of luck, she comes across an old manor deep in the forest where a strange boy is sealed away. If Vera wishes to slay the beast, she will first have to uncover the secret of the manor and its prisoner before it's too late. 𝐀 𝐟𝐚𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐜. 𝐀 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭.

I forgot how to breathe, my mind whirring as it tried to figure out how I could have been so stupid as to let this happen. *************************************************** Wren Heatherfield is on the run. Having turned 18, she is now in danger of becoming selected for the Garner, a deadly game in which the six kings who rule over her continent take eighteen non-magical girls and make them fight for their lives.

But the Garner isn't the only thing capable of killing her. In a castle surrounded by kings with dark powers and girls fighting for their lives, she may find that the politics of royalty can be just as deadly as their games.
