ACADEMY OF SINISTER SORCERY For nineteen years, I was just the orphan girl with mismatched eyes and no magical ability. Then, during my final Testing, silver threads appeared before my eyes-the rare gift of thread magic that allows me to see and manipulate the very strands of fate. Suddenly, I was whisked away to the prestigious Blackthorn Academy, where the enigmatic Magister Vex promised to help me master my unexpected power. What he didn't mention was why he'd really brought me there-as the final piece in an ancient ritual that would consume my essence along with four other students with rare abilities. As the Crimson Eclipse approaches, I find myself bound by blood magic to four unlikely allies: a brooding blood mage fighting his family's deadly curse; a lightning witch whose power crackles as fiercely as her temperament; a charming illusionist hiding painful secrets behind his carefree facade; and a quiet soul-binder who communes with spirits of previous victims. Together, we discover the terrifying truth-every three hundred years, five magical "cornerstones" are sacrificed to extend Vex's immortality. With only months until the ritual, we must master our abilities and the mysterious Blood Bond connecting us if we hope to break a cycle of sacrifice that has claimed fifteen lives before us. But as our powers grow and our connections deepen, so does the threat. Vex has had nine centuries to perfect his ritual, and he'll stop at nothing to ensure we meet our intended fate beneath the blood-red moon. Our only hope lies in the very bond meant to destroy us-if we can transform it from a chain into a weapon. Fate has woven us together. Now we'll use those threads to fight back.
