In Thornhill Ridge, something dark moves within the shadows.
Girls are disappearing. One by one. Without a trace.
Emily only wanted to survive her first semester, hide the skin that glows in the dark, and protect the magical creature she secretly raises: Aelor, her dragon.
But when a vampire scents her in the middle of the forest and nearly devours her by instinct, she realizes something inside her has begun to awaken...
Forbidden magic runs through her veins.
Someone is stealing her blood while she sleeps.
And there's a voice in her dreams that doesn't belong to her.
What Emily doesn't know is that the academy is not a refuge.
It's the board.
And she is the last piece missing to complete the ritual.
