The dragons are lost.
The elements are at war. Enlisting isn’t optional.
And I’m falling for a man who wants me dead.
I’m a wielder of hearts and summoner of corruption. Heir to nothing and born to a fool in the wrong damn month.
But I’m also one of only two Fae in this divided land of hellions who might be starting to see through the lies we’ve swallowed for so long.
In the year we turn twenty-one, conscripts from across the warring nations of air, fire, earth and water are sent to Never Keep – the only place in our besieged continent where our magic can be Awakened.
But something is wrong inside Never Keep. Something which might extend far beyond the reaches of this desolate fortress. Within the gothic walls of this frigid castle in the snow, we’re left to hold our own against the brutal Fae from the opposing lands.
The Reapers are merciless. The Royals are lying. The Werewolves run rampant and Vampires roam the wastelands in bloodthirsty covens. But even though death lurks in every shadow of the Keep, it’s the least of my worries.
I’m delving into secrets the stars don’t want me uncovering, making alliances with Fae born to be my enemy, falling for a sinner while promising my heart to a different heathen and somewhere amid it all, I’m supposed to win a war.
I thought the only thing I had to do was survive my magical instruction.
Turns out, fate doesn’t favour the wicked.

Overall Opinion :
I have read all the books by these authors but nothing will ever scare me more than their cliffhangers lol. When I knew that they were creating this new world for us , with a brand new theme and some amazing characters , I was all over the place to get it! It had been a while since I read a new book by them and soon this became my most anticipated read of all time.
Just like all of the other books by these authors , they somehow never disappoint! I picked this up as soon as it landed on my kindle and was soon absorbed totally into it. I read this in 2 sittings I think because it was a lengthy read, but I remember regretting reading this as soon as it was finished because the end was so good and I WANTED MORE!!
I will not delve much into the story but it has all the genres like ZA and those who have read ZA will be familiar with the element based world these authors have created for us and this time we have a new academy awaiting to torture our characters. That means new schemes , now heroes and of course new teachers! I hope we get more books from this new series soon because I can already see it becoming a huge success.
Totally recommending this one to all fantasy lovers. If you are looking for something new and fresh like me , pick up this series because you will get tortured but it will be worth it!
