"Where the light is brightest, the shadows are deepest." — Goethe I've spent the first seventeen years of my life with my head in the clouds—literally. I attend a secret academy high above the mortal realm where the children of demons and humans are brought to be raised and taught instead of slaughtered. It's the one place we're protected and our talents nurtured, until the night someone close to me is murdered and a precious book is stolen—one with information that could mean the end of us all. Not content with the investigation, my friends and I sneak out of the academy to hunt for the killer, where we cross paths with Rafe, a guy that burns hotter than the sun. Unfortunately for me, he's a Watcher—an angel-human hybrid tasked with protecting the mortal realm from demons. When it turns out we may be able to help each other in our quests, I'm only too happy for an excuse to spend time with him beyond the watchful eyes of the Elders. It's my first time on my own and I'm discovering the world is a scary place, especially when there are creatures hellbent on killing me. Good thing I have a sword—and a few latent powers I didn't know about. Now I need to find the killer and return the book to the academy where it belongs, or risk losing everyone and everything I care about. Spire of Shadows is the first book in the Wings and Blades Academy trilogy that will send you on an action-packed magical adventure filled with friendship, romance, mythology, and magic. \*Please note that this book was previously published in 2019 as Demonspawn Academy: Trial One.

“Hell is empty and all the devils are here.” ― Shakespeare, The Tempest On my last trip outside of the academy, I found my caretaker's killer, but my trials and tribulations are far from over. The Book of Admissions is still missing and at risk of falling into the wrong hands. Even worse, a student has been murdered, which reunites me with the Watchers, including the one that turned my heart inside out. Our search for the book may just lead us to the killer—and a shocking truth that's been eluding me for seventeen years. Unfortunately, this isn't a truth that will set me free. In fact, it might just kill me. Tower of Deception is the second book in the Wings and Blades Academy series. \*Please note that this book was previously published in 2019 as Demonspawn Academy: Trial Two.
