After Dark #2: The Academy of Cordella

A dystopian contemporary fantasy mystery where a feared magical assassin meets a socially outcasted mortal noble boy.

To graduate from the Imperial Military Academy, students must suffer through four years of lectures and trainings. However, plans go out the window when the Shadows in hiding all collectively decide to come out and play a game of chess, where the board is Cordella and the mortals are the pieces.
Levi once thought that the scariest thing were the monsters, but it turned out that human nature was worse. From the moment he reconnected to society, he is forced to face the consequences of his actions from the prior two years. Worst of all, he's being shipped off to the academy, in the same way he was shipped off to the games. Amongst the chaos, a magical rip where monsters come out of threatens to eat up the universe he lives in. Let's not forget also, the monsters are back too.

Everything has its consequences, its merely a matter of time.
