Carissa's a junior at one of the most prestigious academies for magical beings. She recently lost her mother in a highly questionable death, yet, one that she denies is suspicious. She's intent on getting the best grades possible and spending time with her perfect boyfriend Nick.

At least, when she isn't forced to go her tutoring lessons with Ronin. Her! Tutoring lessons! Unheard of. She's always been a straight A student. So what if she got one B? Okay, a B minus, but still.

So, back to Nick. Things seem to go to hell in a handbasket when she catches him with her best friend. You'd think that's the worst of it, wouldn't you? Until she realizes there's evil at bay. Evil that wishes ill for her and her sisters.
