All Avaline Hall wants is to enjoy her senior year at Blythewood Academy, the boarding school where she’s been trained to defend humankind from forces of dark magic. But when Ava is shown a glimpse into the future in the enchanted Blythe Wood, she discovers that the evil Judicus van Drood is rallying nations into a war that seems destined to destroy both the human and faerie worlds. Only Ava and her allies have a chance at stopping van Drood, but how many must die in the process? And how can Ava and the boy she loves be together when everything around them is falling apart?

Ratings and reviews

The pain, the love, the bond that these characters had has touched my heart. I absolutely loved it.

I just want to say that the entire blythewood series was amazing and that this book had so much action and mystery and fantasy and the smallest hint of romance that bonds the characters together! Best series i have EVER read!!!!!
