Defense Magic (Protectors Academy Book #2)

They took my men. They wiped their memories. They have no idea what I'm capable of.

The Magic Council has infiltrated Protectors Academy, and they're not here to teach us.

One by one, the men who set my soul on fire are being ripped away from me — stripped of their magic and their memories by a spell no one has ever been able to reverse. The men who once ignited at my touch now walk past me like I'm a stranger.

I should be terrified. Instead, I'm furious.

Because I'm finally discovering what I truly am. And it's the one thing every mage in this realm has been trained to destroy.

A whispered prophecy speaks of five who will become one — powerful enough to shatter the chains keeping an entire world imprisoned. My men and I are part of that prophecy, but we're incomplete. There's a missing piece. And to find it, I'll have to journey into the most dangerous place in this realm — alone.

The battle trial has been moved up. The Veil between worlds is cracking. Enemies lurk around every corner of campus, and the few allies I have are risking everything to help me. A hidden healer. A resistance on the brink. Secrets that could topple the ruling families forever.

The Magic Council wants me silenced before I unlock the full extent of my power.

They should have killed me when they had the chance.

I finished unpacking the few outfits Kelly Hotchkiss had bought for me when I first woke up at the Headmaster’s Manor and put my hands on my hips. 
The dorm room was small. It fit a twin bed and a desk. The lone window looked out into the courtyard, though, and I could see the morning sun. And the room was only mine. It had been years since I’d had that luxury. 
Headmaster Hotchkiss had pulled some strings to get me a single. The mean girls, Kyna Bloodstyne, Avery Craig, and Sonia Gallagher had spread enough rumors around the Academy for the Headmaster to have some difficulty finding me another roommate. He’d ended up moving another student into Alexis Schoenberg’s old room since Alexis was still missing from what Kelly had overheard the Headmaster say. 
Alexis was the girl who’d poisoned and tried to kidnap me. From what the Headmaster had told me, the amount of poison I’d been given should have knocked me out for days. Instead I’d been out for mere minutes. My unique immunity had saved my life that day and no one who knew my secret could explain what I was to her, or why she’d come after me. 
I plopped down on the bed as I still had about an hour before my first class. I took a deep breath and listened to the quiet. 
It had been a whirlwind first week. 
I’d lost and found my memory, lived with two different sets of roommates, been kidnapped, escaped, and was now part of a resistance working against the ruling Magic Council. Not to mention forging intense connections to two beautiful men. 
Flashes of the lab where I’d been kept came unbidden to me at random moments, but I still had no idea what my kidnappers had done to me there or why. Headmaster Hotchkiss, Cole Trahern, and Fergus Mathonwy all suspected the Magic Council behind my kidnapping. I was new to this magical world and trusted them to know. They had all done their best to keep me safe so far. 
I still hadn’t figured out where my magic had come from. The incredible sex I was having with two of the most powerful men at the Academy and the magic we had awakened in each other was a mystery, too. The magic that, I was beginning to believe, was not entirely the same kind mages wielded. 
My dreams of the weird orange tunnel and the ensuing sound of a crash were getting more and more vivid, though. Several times, I’d woken up thinking something awful was coming towards me. It felt like a beast I was only able to get away from at the very last minute. 
I hopped off the bed as if the bed might bite me. 
“Pull it together, Sadie,” I said out loud.
