Skye's Story Continues in Consumed by Shadows I survived one week. One week before everything went to hell. I'm the keeper of all Mother Nature's secrets? That has to be a joke. Add in the fact that my greatest enemy seems to be essence itself and whatever Ambrose is, I know I'm in way over my head. Because he’s more than just a mage. I’d say he was a demon’s close relative if I didn't know any better. Mother Nature says I’m not far off. Consumed by Shadows is the second installment in The Academy of Rejects series. It is an 18+ Dark MMMMMM PNR Academy Romance and significantly darker than book one. Overwhelmed by Essence must be read before this one. CW/TW in the Author's Note.
