An emergency measure ensures that no one can enter or leave the pocket dimension that holds Cerris City. Everyone I love and care about is stuck in the city with me.

I didn’t know I was a witch until a pair of cats started talking to me and I received an official summons to report to a training school for my supernatural abilities. That’s when I’m shipped off to a highly esteemed university for the supernatural, Moongrove Academy. I go to class alongside shifters, vampires, and other creatures straight from the paranormal books I love so much.

It’s time I wise up, before I’m buried in an early grave. Avenging my friend has never seemed more difficult. Things aren’t as they seem on campus. The killer picking off students wears a familiar face, but more sinister forces are at work while he distracts us. I am uniquely positioned to save lives, despite being a freshman witch, as long as I can work together with three very different men. That’s so much easier said than done.

An ancient terror loose on campus. Three men who can help me stop it. When magical testing reveals that I’m a librarian witch, I’m ecstatic. Except, it turns out it means I’m a custodian of knowledge and creatures from beyond our dimension, rather than a curator of books. Because of my magic, I know about the ancient dimensional being that escaped from centuries-long imprisonment in the library. Murders begin across the campus that can only be traced back to this monster. The situation wakes Geo, a duty-bound gargoyle who senses danger to his destined mate—me.

There’s never been a female gryphon rider until the day I bonded with Ari. I only wanted to save a blinded gryphon’s life, but the act of bonding with him sets off a chain of events no one could anticipate. We must first prove ourselves at the highly competitive Gryphon Rider Academy, where we train with the nation’s finest young men. If we don’t succeed, our failure is all the proof the Crown needs to take Ari from me. If that’s not enough, our story becomes a piece on a political game board that leads our great nation of Altare into a new war without finishing an old one.

To support a war on two fronts, the military is relying on drafted soldiers and half-trained gryphon rider cadets like me. From the second we arrive, Ari and I are selected to join a dangerous strike force and tasked to carry an unstable mage into combat, who is likely to set us all ablaze by accident.

I just wanted to ease the suffering of Arimus, a gryphon blinded in combat. He’d lost his first rider, and his will to live. But when he forges a new psychic link with me to be his replacement rider, it brands me as “an affront to the gods” for daring to ride an avatar of the god of man.

Arimus and I face the toughest challenge yet at Gryphon Rider Academy, the infamous Trial by Fire. If either of us fail, it will be the proof the Crown needs to take Ari from me. Passing the most grueling classes yet is just the beginning of the danger. There’s someone here who’s trying to make sure I am both the first, and last, female gryphon rider. I fear they’re working off the king’s orders.

The new, fragile alliance we have with the wild gryphons will be challenged from all sides, as the concept of Wild Flight changes what we believed about the gryphons and who they Link with. While Ari is busy tending to his family, both wild and tame, I help train the newest cadets at the Gryphon Rider Academy. I see hope for a future where only the most compassionate men and women earn the opportunity to Link with a gryphon. For the first time, the yearlings will select their riders.
