A cat with a terrible secret. A boy back from the dead. A cursed firedrake. A man split in half for love. Magic was never meant to be safe.

The immortal Count Washur has been waiting for Clara to grow more powerful to collect her soul. Now he's after her.

Washur Castle comes alive with dark magic while it carries out the Count's attack. Clara knows it's a trap, but she goes anyway because he has something—someone—she can't bear to lose.

Clara and her friends are strong, and their magic is stronger. But with their forces divided, can they overcome monsters and deadly illusions?
