I’m so excited to be headed to the Academy of Enchantment, where I’ll be a transfer student for the following year. Except I never make it. When a shadow demon boards my train, I’m overcome by his power and I blackout. And when I wake up? I’m in a place called Dread. And, yes, Dread is as wonderful as the name implies. Awaiting my arrival at the train station is a guy named Harlow. He’s an incubus—a demon, and with his leather jacket, his bad-boy attitude and the fact that he can't keep his hands off me, I know he's trouble. Not only that, but Harlow has instructions to deliver me to my host family. And that means I’ve been expected in Dread. But how and why? That’s the mystery I need to figure out. And pronto. But, first, I have to survive the evening at Castle Raven Night, and I have to survive my host family, Count Jean-Claude Von Zarovich… the third. Yeah, the count might be the hottest guy I’ve ever seen in my life, but he’s also a vampire, and last I checked, vampires eat you. Then there’s Riven. Riven is the headmaster of Ever Dark Academy, and he’s the reason I’m here. And, yes, he’s just as freaking hot as Jean-Claude and Harlow. Only I’ve got a bone to pick with Riven because he totally hijacked my plans. And yet, there’s something about Riven’s soulful eyes, Jean-Claude’s pain, and Harlow’s need that makes me think maybe a quick layover in Dread wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world…

After being ‘purged’ by the Academy of Enchantment, Everly loses all her memories of Ever Dark Academy, Dread, and the men who live there. Luckily, she’s got a good friend in Griim who patiently helps Everly as she tries to relearn everything about Dread and Ever Dark. Little by little, Everly finds herself growing closer to Griim, much to Harlow’s discontent. Then there’s also Jean-Claude—getting to know him the second time around doesn’t change the fact that Everly is drawn to him, though she isn’t sure why. Regardless, she can feel an attraction to him, a bond she can’t explain. Meanwhile, Ever Dark Academy is looming very close to a potential battle with The Academy of Enchantment. On the surface, the reason why appears to be the fact that Jean-Claude, Griim and Harlow broke border protocols when they entered Arcadia uninvited. But Riven knows the true reasons run much deeper. Those reasons have everything to do with the fact that Everly was able to read Dorian’s book—a journal no one has been able to decipher and one that’s believed to hold important information. And it’s that information the Academy of Enchantment is so worried about. Now it’s just a matter of time before the Academy of Enchantment declares war on Ever Dark Academy and Everly seems to be stuck right in the middle.

The final book is coming soon!
