A missing scholar. A forbidden spell. A trail of ghosts that won’t stay buried.

Ivy Hawthorne thought life at Veilkeeper Academy would finally settle after surviving one murder, one necromancer, and one too many close calls.

She was wrong.

When a beloved professor turns up dead under mysterious circumstances, Ivy and Lucien are pulled back into the shadows—where whispers of gravebinding and long-lost experiments resurface. The deeper they dig, the more they uncover about a student who vanished years ago…and a ritual that should’ve died with him.

Lucien’s temper is shorter. His power is hungrier. And Ivy can’t decide which is more dangerous—the secrets in the Restricted Archive or the way Lucien looks at her when they’re alone in the dark.

To save the living, Ivy will have to make peace with the dead, and decide just how much of her heart she’s willing to risk for the man who commands them.
