Now, Alka is deep under cover at the most prestigious school of magic in the Republic: Blackwater Academy. To survive, Alka will have to lie, cheat, and kill to use every trick in her spy’s toolkit. And for the first time in her life, the fiercely independent Alka will have to make friends, to recruit the misfits and the outcasts into her motley rebellion. Can Alka destroy the twisted game…without becoming a part of it?
