  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.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Until Briar joins him.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Now she’s got Sam and necromancers to contend with. Which is worse? Losing
  Zach to the necromancers or losing him to Sam. Some choice.
