Description from the publisher:
I survived Orientation at Crystal
Wing Academy—barely—and now it’s time to learn how to control my power.
After destroying a power-sucking slake before he killed my friends, I’m feeling stronger and more confident than ever.
Donovan and I are together, I’m pulling in more threads than before, and I have new abilities I’m excited to master… So, I might be flunking Magical Creatures & How to Tame Them. Not everything comes easy, right?
When I stumble over a dead girl—one of eight Outlings at the Academy—and she’s marked with an O and a #7, it’s clear someone’s copycatting the Outling murders that took place one hundred years ago.
With the clock ticking down and more Outlings turning up dead, I’ll soon be next. Last time, every Outling at the Academy was murdered.
But the killer is about to learn this Outling wizard won’t go down without a fight.

DRAGONSWORN is the second book in
the three-book Outling series. The
author says that while each book contains an individual story, there's an
overarching plot connecting all three books/the series. You'll better enjoy book two, if you've read
book one. I agree and I would encourage
you to read both of these books if you enjoy suspense, sweet romance, and
magic. Don’t just read one or the other!
There is enough darkness to keep the
older YA intrigued, but not enough to make the younger YA have nightmares. This is a fine edge to keep on that Moonstone
Dagger that I suspect Marty Mayberry may have strapped to her own thigh.
With plenty of fantastical creatures
and humor the story is a quick-paced magical adventure with just a sprinkling
of age-appropriate romance
Note: While I received this book as a gifted ARC
via Booksprout, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
