Protectors Academy · Book 3 · Nika Gray
Short introduction
They said no one survives the Borderlands. They clearly haven't met me.
Synopsis
I escaped the Academy with my men, a traitor I shouldn't trust, and a prophecy I never asked for. Now we're running for our lives in a realm that wants us dead.
The Magic Council has branded us enemies. The wolves are hunting us. And a dark, ancient magic is spreading through the Borderlands like a plague — warping creatures into monsters and turning everything it touches into something unrecognizable.
But that's not even the worst part.
→ The only thing that can stop what's coming is hidden in a place no one has ever returned from. And we're not the only ones looking for it.
→ Something is changing inside me. Every time I use my power, I feel it pulling me closer to a darkness I might not come back from.
→ Aidan — the one who betrayed us, who worked for the Council, who hated everything I am — is the only person who can get us through this alive. And the tension between us? It's about to combust.
→ My men — my beautiful, infuriating princes — are ready to burn this world down for me. But what the prophecy demands of us could either save two realms… or destroy us all.
The deeper we go, the more I discover about who I really am. And the truth? It changes everything.
The Magic Council thinks they've already won.
They have no idea what's coming.
Don't miss the stunning conclusion to this epic trilogy — a final battle for love, magic, and the fate of two worlds.

Chapter 1 Look Inside
Every time I closed my eyes, the vision of the lab collapsing filled my head. Gregory was dead. And I had escaped thanks to the men around me.
There was so much going on, and yet, my focus needed to be on my three men, and the revelation that we’re nowhere near finished with all this treachery.
My small dorm room seemed even more crowded with Cole, Fergus, and Declan huddled around me on the narrow bed. The air reeked of smoke and fire from the lab, which came with us through the portal. I could still sense the remnants of fire on my tongue, acrid and bitter.
I looked at Fergus, my voice trembling slightly as I spoke, “I... I can't believe what just happened. Fergus, I'm so sorry about your father. I never meant to--”
“Don’t,” Fergus cut me off, his tone flat. “My father was going to kill me.” His usual golden-bronze skin had paled. He looked washed out, like someone had snuffed all the light from within him. His shoulders slumped, that confident posture he always carried now gone.
I opened my mouth to apologize again, but Cole jumped in, throwing his hands up.
“And my mother... She used that extraction curse. On all of us. Knowing there was no cure.”
He paced back and forth.
“And yeah, she’s my mother, but... hell, she’s known us all since we were kids! She was there for everything—birthdays, stupid school plays, even conjuring backyard treehouses. But then... She just turned us into zombies. Like we were tools.”
He stared at all of us.
“God, she... she was my mom.” His voice cracked, and he glanced away, jaw clenched tight.
Declan placed a hand on Cole’s shoulder, his own voice ragged. “Mate, it’s... it’s mental. What they did to us.”
I nodded, tears welling in my eyes. “I've destroyed everything. If I hadn’t activated your magic, none of this would have happened. Your parents would still be... I don’t know, acting like your parents. We wouldn’t be fugitives.”
Fergus shook his head, his voice barely audible. “You didn't destroy anything, Sadie. They did. My father, Cole's mother... they betrayed us.”
Cole looked at me. “You awakened something inside us. Our Fae power. That’s how it was always supposed to happen. And Fae magic doesn’t need conduit rings, right? It’s in our bloodlines.”
“Are you saying we could be...” Fergus hesitated, glancing at Cole, “changelings?”
“One of our parents had to be fae. And seeing as Gregory and Leonora won't stop until every last Fae is dead, I doubt one of them would have shacked up with a Fae to make us, right?”
Declan nodded. “I see what you're getting at. And my parents aren't much different. All the mages on the council despise the Fae. That's why it was so easy for them to kill us. Leonora knew she couldn't be your parent if you had Fae power.”

Reader reviews
J Cartwright — "Loved this ending"
"I have been waiting for this book, and it didn't disappoint. I love Sadie, and I love how she handles the changes and challenges that keep coming her way. And the ending? OMG, I cried at the ending. I won't give it away, but it's worth it! Love love love!"
Cassandra Reads Books — "Four Princes and their Princess!"
"Exciting! The characters have great chemistry, and the fae world is brought to life with unique magic and a memorable villain. The story blends romance, adventure, and fantasy effortlessly, and the spicy bits are tender and fun."
