Now, I’m twenty-two and while I’m free of the dangers of my childhood, life still isn’t easy. When a strange couple appears chanting in some weird language, I try to walk away, but the guy whips out a freaking fire lasso and starts making like he’s going to hogtie me right there on the street. That’s when all kinds of crazy breaks loose. Next thing I know, I’m strapped to a bed in what looks like a hospital, I can’t speak, and some woman is telling me I’m a Vox Elemental, which leaves me a choice between getting shipped off to a magic school to train my voice or be silenced forever. Of course I choose the school; who wouldn’t? Turns out my new home is a highly competitive, cut-throat academy where one wrong step could cost me everything. I promise myself that I’ll work hard and get free, which all goes out the window when I meet not one, not two, but four of the hottest guys I have ever seen, and they are definitely not part of the curriculum. As if juggling new relationships, a new school, and some rather testy mean girls weren’t enough, there’s also someone or something making a meal out of the student body—literally.

     Academy Investigator. Top agent at the Magic Elite Investigators Department. If only my real biography were half as glorious as the one in my head. Instead, I’m Willa Silvers, a clumsy, disaster-prone eighteen-year-old and daughter of two powerful M.E.I.D. agents. Naturally, expectations are high as I, the Infinite Level Mageri Mage, embark on my investigatory career, but I’m already running into complications. With my unwieldy magic that has a mind of its own, and being paired with the powerful, sexy, rich jerk who couldn’t care less about "partnership", I hope completing our assigned mission is no problem. Silly assumption. Our mission? Locate four ancient daggers, hidden in the depths of four of the most elite academies in the world. It’s our job to dedicate one year to the search for each mystical dagger by attending the various schools and blending in as students. The catch — because there’s always a catch — is that we're not the only ones after these legendary weapons and if each one isn’t retrieved within the designated year, the entire world will be annihilated by eternal life-sucking smoke. Daggers and smoke...a lethal potential future for all of us if I make a single mistake. All Written Work by Quinn Ashwood X Avery Song are NOT Reverse Harem. This is a YA/New Adult M/F romance
