In the world of dragon shifters, only the strong survive.

As winter takes hold of Spearwood, Avalon must put all her focus into her studies if she hopes to stay in Spearwood past the next season. But the bonds she thought were strong are crumbling, and enemies reveal themselves to be friends. No one is who they appear, and trust could cost Avalon not only her place in the school, but the magic she nurtures inside.

When Jericho pushes for an introduction to the Royals, will Avalon sell the friendship she’s built with them to stop her childhood friend from revealing her deepest secret? Or will she stand true and risk everything.
