Who would have thought,” he teased, “that the girl who tried to get me kicked out of the Academy—”
“That was Ella!” I shoved Darren, and he caught my hands in his.
“It was both of you.” His smile was wicked. “As I was saying, this girl who tried to get me kicked out of the Academy, this girl who tried to light me on fire, this lowborn girl I absolutely couldn’t stand—”
I scoffed. “Please! You insulted me, mocked me, tricked me, lied to me—”
Darren’s hand lightly clamped over my mouth so that the rest of my speech was muffled. His eyes found mine. “Let me finish, love.”
My heart skipped a beat.
“That somehow, this insufferable girl would become the one person I am forever, hopelessly, madly drawn to against my will and possibly even my better judgment.”
I smiled faintly. “I don’t think either of us had a choice in the matter.”
“The higher powers are probably having a good laugh at our expense.” Darren touched the side of my face, eyes gleaming. “Though perhaps they are right about this one."

Résumé
She survived a trial year at the Academy, but that was just the easy part…
Now sixteen-year-old Ryiah is an apprentice of Combat, her school’s most notorious faction of magic. When she finishes she will be a mage, but in order to do so she has to survive four years with a training master she hates and her old nemesis, Priscilla. To make matters worse the unwanted attraction Ry feels for her sometimes-friend-sometimes-rival Prince Darren is at an all time high –even though he is betrothed to the very girl she can’t stand.
Really, the only bright spot to Ryiah’s new life is the time she spends with her friends, including an older apprentice named Ian, who she finds herself thinking about quite often.
Just when things start to get comfortable they take a turn for the worse. An apprentice is killed in a rebel attack and several mages end up dead. Unwittingly, the apprentices find themselves in the midst of a budding unrest between Jerar and its northern neighbor, Caltoth. For Ryiah the impending conflict means many things, but as her apprenticeship draws to a close she finds her biggest problem at home.
Unfortunately for her, Darren’s not going anywhere.
