Ravenhall Academy: The awakening

For sixteen years, Lien Ashford lived a quiet, ordinary life-until the day a black-sealed letter arrived, summoning her to Ravenhall, a hidden academy for vampires nestled deep in the northern wilds.

She doesn't remember being bitten. She doesn't even know what she is.

But Ravenhall does.

On her first night, the ancient House of the Veilborn-sealed for centuries-awakens and claims her. Dust vanishes. Lamps ignite. Long-dead voices whisper, welcome home. Lien has been chosen, the first in over four hundred years.

And that's the problem.

The Veilborn bloodline was supposed to be extinct-its power too great, too dangerous. Hidden by a secretive coven of witches who swore to wipe it out, Lien's existence is a threat to the delicate balance between the vampire world and everything that lies beyond.

Now, as she trains to control the hunger rising inside her, Lien must navigate Ravenhall's dark politics, survive the attention of curious enemies and would-be allies, and endure her brutal combat partner Elias-a deadly, gorgeous warrior who's been ordered to kill her if she loses control.

But secrets buried by blood always rise.

And Lien's may burn the whole academy to the ground.
