First day at a new school. Magic placement test. Birthday candle for a power. Great start, Melanie.
But when Melanie Thorne flash-boils a Rank-2 water blast without trying, the academy starts paying attention to the girl who was supposed to be unremarkable. Strange warnings appear in empty corridors. The name Thorne turns up in places it shouldn't. And the more Melanie tries to stay invisible, the more impossible that becomes.
She didn't come here expecting anything. Now it feels like the academy has been waiting for her.
The most guarded boy in the building keeps crossing her path. He knows more than he says. He keeps his distance, except when he doesn't. And somewhere between suspicion and danger, Melanie finds herself falling for the one person she should probably trust least.
As old secrets stir and the truth begins to surface, Melanie has to decide who's hiding the most: the people around her, or the power waking up inside her.
Some fires don't stay quiet.
