Defense Magic (Protectors Academy Book #2)

They're coming for us. And this time, they're not playing nice.
The Magic Council knows what I am now. They know about the forbidden fire that sparks when my men and I touch. And they're willing to destroy everything—and everyone—to control it.
Fergus, Cole, and Declan are mine. Our magic bond grows stronger every day, more powerful than anything the mages have seen. But that power has painted targets on all our backs.
When one of my men disappears, I realize the enemy isn't just at the gates—they're already inside. Someone close to us has betrayed our secrets. Someone wants to tear our bond apart from the inside out.
The battle trials are approaching, and I should be focused on training. Instead, I'm watching my back in every class, every hallway, every quiet moment. Because the whispers have started, the attacks are escalating, and the walls are closing in.
They think separation will weaken us.
They think fear will break us.
They have no idea what we're capable of together.
But there's something they're not telling me. Something about my magic, about who I really am, and why they're so desperate to keep us apart. The answers are buried deep, and uncovering them might cost me everything.
Including the men I've chosen.
Defense Magic is a steamy reverse harem academy romance where the stakes get deadlier, the bonds run deeper, and one woman discovers that some magic is worth burning the world to protect. Perfect for readers who crave mystery, danger, and love that defies every rule.

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.
