To top it all off, Damien’s teacher is a madman from the front lines of war, his alcoholic dean suspects something is awry with his companion, and Blackmist might possibly be the worst school in history.

He won’t let it go without a fight, though. With Henry and Sylph’s help, he plans to bring the battle straight to the greatest threat the Mortal Plane has seen – but that might be just what its waiting for.
