Malcroix Bones Academy (Bones and Shadow #1)

“You should be afraid of me, mongrel. I keep telling you that.”

Malcroix Bones Academy, hallowed university for elite Magicals, just enrolled its first hybrid student in its thousand-year history, Leda Shadow. The Bones family founders also send their male heir, entitled, spoiled, irritatingly competent, deadly in the magical sparring ring, and born to preside as virtual king over the university his family founded. He’s also best friend to the first Magical Leda meets when she first arrives in Magical London.

Of course, Caelum himself despises her on sight.

But when someone tries to kill her, he learns something strange about her magic, and together they make a pact. He’ll help her stay alive, and she’ll help him with his magical “problem,” and absolutely no one will know of their arrangement. But as the year unfolds, their already-volatile relationship gets increasingly complicated.

And Caelum’s got a rep as the biggest prick in school for a reason.
