Ruinous Ends

The Decennial has ended at Blackwood Academy, but the struggle over the afterlife is still going. The school kept more secrets and lies than any participant in the contest guessed, and a good deal remains buried under its ancient foundations.

The academy's future, and the fate of every soul inside it, now depends on six former pupils. They come in pairs. One pair is a charmer and a golden boy. Another is a traitor and the girl who is desperate to rescue that traitor. The last is the Chosen One and the person who would pick her again and again.

Any of the six could turn out to be the hero the afterlife needs. Any of them could just as easily become the villain who destroys it for good.

Blackwood's biggest secret has not yet come to light. When it does, it will shake the institution to its core. The book follows the aftermath of the Decennial, with the stakes shifting from a single contest to the survival of the afterlife itself.
