A Blackened Bond

The narrator died in a fire, burning alive, and woke back in her own past. That past is the Academy, where the people she trusted turned out to be enemies. Her first stretch there ended with her proving they could not break her.

Two months into this second life, she wants answers and revenge. The timeline has begun to drift from what she remembers. New people have appeared, strange marks show on skin, monsters have mutated into forms she has not seen, and a power is growing inside her that she does not yet understand.

She knows her presence is bending events, so she decides to act on purpose rather than react. The bonds she has formed in this new life are her means of finding the truth and taking back what belongs to her.

This is the second book in Isla Davon's paranormal why-choose series, so it follows a heroine with several love interests and picks up where the first volume leaves off. The series grows spicier as it goes and carries adult themes and content that some readers may find upsetting. Expect a dark, revenge-driven tone set in an academy full of danger.
