I've stepped onto an alien world to surrender myself to my nemesis. But my captor isn't what he seems.

Valentina is a rival family's daughter, and the little temptress has purposely tangled herself in my dark web. She seeks me out, needing my help, but the price for what she wants will be steep.

Going into Briarwitch Academy, I wasn't a big fan of supernaturals. But I learned to appreciate something: Other than their magic and unreasonable attractiveness (seriously, it's not fair), they're not so different than humans. There are good ones and bad ones.

I need to know who's involved in the shady plots surrounding Briarwitch like a fog.

I wanted to make it easier for her to get to where I am now by sharing what I learned along the way.
