Publisher's Synopsis
A sealed demon. A rising darkness. And a boy with fire in his blood who's running out of time.
Thiago De La Cruz thought surviving his first year at Viremoor Academy would be the hard part. He was wrong. After barely containing the ancient power sealed within him, Thiago now faces whispers across the magical world. Some fear him. Some want to use him. Others want him dead. But as he struggles to control the demon Drazuhl-a force of fire, fury, and forgotten history-new threats begin to stir in the shadows. Mythic beasts are turning up dead in the forest. Reapers-creatures that devour magic itself-have breached the Veil. And worst of all, something older than Drazuhl has begun to wake... something even he fears. As Viremoor becomes the center of rising tension, Thiago must walk a dangerous path between power and destruction. And when the demon inside him finally speaks the truth about his past, Thiago realizes the greatest threat may not be the monsters in the dark-but the legacy he was never meant to carry. The fire is spreading. And what burns next... might be everything. Perfect for readers who love dark magical academies, forbidden powers, mythical lore, and emotionally driven fantasy.
