The chosen pupil is offered a choice: graduate and join Blackwoods magical elite, or venture into the unknown and cross over to the Other Side.

Wren knows she has what it takes to winunless, that is, her arch-rival (and subject of her tortured dreams) Augustine steals her spot.

Irene has never cared about playing by the rules and will break whatever (and whoever) stands in her way, including her only friend, Masika.

Four trials.

One victor.

The competitors are about to learn that there are some fates worse than death.
