Description from the publisher:
The
Hunger Games meets Shadowspell Academy
Nothing beats being locked up in supernatural juvie. If only committing murder wasn't my only way out.
Framed by the head of the Seeker's Guild and sent to Darkwater to serve a life sentence, I'm doomed. The prison is located in the fae world, on an island in the middle of a forbidding sea. Wizards sent there never return.
The moment I arrive, I’m forced to take a series of initiation tests with a snarky, too-hot fellow inmate. If the creatures trying to kill us don’t do him in, I just might. Yet my birth father's at Darkwater, and while he could be the warden, a guard, or a fellow inmate, I’m determined to track him down. He stole something from me when I was a baby, and I want it back.
Once I get what I came for, there are two ways out. Survive the Challenge—another series of trials that take place in the ever-changing, magical catacombs beneath the prison, and they’ll send me to pre-release at Darkwater Reformatory. Or I can fulfill the secret blood bond I made with the Master Seeker. Eliminate a fellow inmate and the Master Seeker will transport me home.
…Except the inmate I must kill is the wizard I'm falling for.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This story is full of magic,
adventure, and romance. There are mean
girls and cliques, but no bullying or sex.
Great characters move the story
along with beautifully described scenes and action. I love Tria, Brodin, and Jacey. It is obvious that Tria and Brodin have
romantic chemistry, but the three of them quickly develop the bonds of
friendship that make survival in this Dark Prison possible.
Marty Mayberry is Level Five
StoryWeaver. I’ll be counting the days
(four months!!) until the next release in the series.
Note: While I received this book as a gifted ARC
via Booksprout, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
