When Emma discovers she can see dead people, she's introduced to a world of shifters, haunted academies, and dark prophecies. Once her life is threatened, she's forced to team up with one of Elmore's elites, Rylan Ryder. But the intense dragon might just be the person she's supposed to be weary of.

________


Emma Richards has a few simple rules to live by for her last year at a new fantastical boarding school. One, do not attract attention. Two, never, ever show interest in the horrifying secrets spilled in the school's gossip columns--'cause yours might be next. Three, stay out of trouble.

And four, try to ignore the brooding, six-feet dragon staring daggers at you from across the school's countless corridors.

Just one hitch. In Elmore academy, the rules are made to be broken.

When a long buried prophecy comes to light and threatens all she and the dragon hold dear, the two unlikely allies would have to stick together, championing through a web of dark secrets, ruthless power struggles and their own forbidden attraction to each other...

I replied. "You belong to me now." He bit out. "I don't belong to anyone."I seethed. I felt a gush of wind and before I could even blink he had me pinned against the wall. "What are you?"I whispered. He chuckled ignoring my question and he leaned in close running his fingers through my hair. "My parents will come looking for me."I stated in fear. "No they won't because long ago they sold your soul to a demon so they could have all of this."He chuckled again. I looked around the large home I had grown up in with parents that loved me. "I don't believe you."I seethed. "Well the proof is written in blood."He growled. He pulled out a rolled up tan paper and shoved it close to my face. Written in what looked like blood was my parents name on a contract for my soul....
