Everyone pays a price with dark forces. Unlikely allies and betrayal. An unrelenting enemy. Luna's whole world teeters on the edge after her expulsion from the Guild of Shadows. No more magic school. No more home. No more family. Definitely no spelled walls or sexy guardians to protect her from the dark forces hunting her. With a runaway serpent by her side, she'll fight the darkness seeking her power to control the supernatural world. But the snakes don't play nice. They play dirty and their fangs sink deep. She's going to be lucky if she lives to see another day after they're done with her, especially when no one is who they seem. Contains mature themes.
