Two Hell Beasts. Three Shades. One forbidden destiny.


At Ravenhold Academy, power is everything and someone is kidnapping the strongest graduating students across the supernatural world.

When the Order of the Shades sends a team to uncover the truth, they expect danger. What they don't expect is Ari Sloane, a fierce, guarded student with hidden power, two deadly familiars, and a secret that could get her killed. Known to the academy only by the name she's been given, Ari has spent her life hiding who she really is. But when the Shades sense the power she's trying to conceal, they begin to suspect her of being involved in the disappearances.

Instead, they uncover something far more dangerous.

Ari is their fated mate.

Bound by fate but divided by secrets, the Shades and Ari are forced into an uneasy alliance as they race to stop a growing threat that's targeting the supernatural elite. But with Shadow unable to touch without unleashing the violence buried inside him, and Evander locked in a battle of wills with Ari's dominant nature, trust comes at a cost none of them are prepared to pay.

As the danger closes in and loyalties begin to fracture, Ari must decide whether to keep protecting her secrets — or risk everything to stand beside the very men who could destroy her heart.
