I am at home in the darkness, where brutality feeds on the weak and fuels the strong. Shadowmoor has forged me into who I am today and I have the mark and scars to prove it. I never thought I’d see the light again, but it seems destiny has other plans for me. My father’s arrival means life as I know it is about to change. Silvercrest Academy trains and prepares the most gifted and privileged among us for their future contributions to the Monarchy. I may come from the right family, but I am a void. No gifts. No magic. No abilities to be seen. From the shadowy underworld to the highest peak in the land, I will need every ounce of my strength to survive this place. Guaranteed prosperity, that’s what they promise if you make it to graduation. Only time will tell if Silvercrest will be the beginning or the end of me.

I can feel it. It floats beneath the surface, an endless well of power waiting to be unleashed. Magic I never thought I’d possess, and yet now that I do, I’m starting to wonder if it’s more potent than I ever could’ve imagined. But I need to learn my limits and fast because there’s darkness on the horizon. My days at Silvercrest Academy have been filled with secrets, conflict, and death. It’s a world consumed with uncertainty, but there’s only one thing I can believe in… the Bishops. Creed, Zane, Eldon, and Brax. They’re everything I never knew I needed, and I have a feeling the five of us together are the key to making it out of here alive. In this fight, it’s kill or be killed. And I hold the power in the palm of my hand.

In life’s game, we’re all just trying to survive one move at a time. From Shadowmoor to the halls of Silvercrest Academy, I went from non-existent player to a powerful piece on the board. My parents want to control me, the enemy wants to use me, and everyone else fears the power I hold. Everyone except the Bishops - Creed, Zane, Eldon, and Brax. I’m their Queen and every move we make is to protect each other at all costs. With new threats emerging from the shadows, I’m starting to wonder if my destiny was cursed before it even began. I’ve become a pawn and only time will tell if I’m headed for victory or defeat.

My journey at Silvercrest Academy has become a perilous cycle I can’t seem to break. And if the visions are true, then I am the key to bringing this madness to an end. The threats have never been more prevalent, danger lurking around every corner as I seek strength from surprising allies and promised oaths. It’s time I break these chains and embrace who I am, what I stand for, and what I am capable of. I’m not here to protect the academy, the Elevin Realm, or the Monarchy. I live, breathe, and fight for my Bishops. If that makes me selfish, then so be it. Because I’m no hero. I’m just me. Just Raven. Once a Void, now forever theirs. This is the fourth and final book in the Silvercrest Academy series.
