Academy of Ancients

Briar Shroud has gone from foster child to full scholarship at the Academy of Ancients. Cool, right? Not quite. Her upperclassman mentor Zachary sucks. He's hot, but he sucks at being a mentor. And a friend. And a person. Her roommate's a paranormal, and the whole school is underground and a secret. Know what else is bad? Briar learns she's a witch. And a rare type of witch, to boot.

Briar’s gone from being an aimless foster child to being a witch at Academy of Ancients. She’s not just any ol’ witch, she’s one with two elements. And not only that, she’s one of a kind, evidently. So rare that she’s sought after by a paranormal military cadre. Zach can’t reach his brothers. His efforts to keep Briar safe keep him knee-deep in trouble. And as if that’s bad enough, he’s hell-bent on trespassing on property that Academy has deemed off limits. He wants to explore an abandoned and condemned building nicknamed the cathedral.

Briar’s alone at Academy of Ancients now that Zach’s graduated and moved on to his assignment with a special elite unit. Not to mention, it’s an assignment that keeps them apart. Oh, and Sam - as in, Samantha - is in his unit. Sam, the one who has a crush on him. Sam, as in, the one who thinks he’s too good for Briar. What’s worse? A new batch of missing students. A new batch of bad necromancers, and Zach’s right smack dab in the middle of it.
