Welcome to Confluence Academy... --- Nineteen-year-old Nessa Thorne expects death when she volunteers for the Empire's selection. Instead, she's thrust into Confluence Academy, where students harness elemental magic and bond powerful beasts, from wolves to ancient dragons. Students are branded by affinity: water, air, earth, or fire. But Nessa's mark is different. A silver spiral - the mark of an unbound. It's a power so dangerous her kind were hunted to extinction centuries ago - or so the Empire claims. To survive, she must hide what she is in a castle where alliances are forged in blood and students kill each other freely for advantage. Nessa's greatest threat may be the only other volunteer, Raith Hollow, a powerful fire affinity with a scorching gaze that follows her every move and secrets that could topple kingdoms. Forbidden desires become impossible to ignore, enemies approach from beyond the castle walls, and something evil has found its way inside - stalking the midnight corridors, hiding in plain sight. Nessa must choose: embrace her terrible potential, or watch everything she's fought for burn. Because at Confluence Academy, students leave as weapons... or they don't leave at all. The story continues in Unveiled (Confluence Academy Book 2) - available to pre-order now! * NEW PAPERBACK EDITION INCLUDES AN EXCLUSIVE, NEVER-SEEN-BEFORE BONUS CHAPTER FROM RAITH'S POV! * --- Readers are obsessed with Nessa, Raith & Typhon: 'Imagine if Fourth Wing and Harry Potter had a book baby in THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE!

I cannot recommend this book enough!' ????? 'This book had me in a chokehold. Loved it all the way' ????? 'I haven't been this hooked on a book since Fourth Wing . . . and that freaking twist?
