Avalon Clementine survived the arena. But she didn’t win. As the last to exit the trial, Avalon has lost her top standing at Spearwood Academy, and she’ll have to claw her way back up while navigating yet another devastating loss. But the arena didn’t just test Avalon. It changed her. Her magic is changing in ways she doesn’t fully understand, and she can’t afford to let anyone discover it. Not the board. Not the Royals. And especially not Chairman Roseman. As pressure mounts and the academy closes ranks, Avalon is forced to prove her worth while hiding the truth of what she’s becoming. At the same time, her relationships are shifting, and Avalon is done hesitating. She’s done waiting to be chosen. And she’s done holding herself back to make anyone else comfortable. Because this time, it’s not about whether Spearwood will let her stay. It’s about surviving long enough to decide what she wants to do with the power she’s hiding. And when the truth finally comes to light, Spearwood won’t be ready for what she’s become.
