Shadowspell Academy Series by K.F. Breene, Shannon Mayer

You Don’t Choose The Academy. The Academy Chooses You. I had no idea how those words would change my life. Or how they’d changed my life already… Until the day the most dangerous man I’ve ever met waltzed onto my farm and left us a death sentence. In an invitation. My younger brother has been chosen for the prestigious, secret magical school hidden within the folds of our mundane world. A place so dangerous, they don’t guarantee you’ll make it out alive... moreYou Don’t Choose The Academy. The Academy Chooses You. I had no idea how those words would change my life. Or how they’d changed my life already… Until the day the most dangerous man I’ve ever met waltzed onto my farm and left us a death sentence. In an invitation. My younger brother has been chosen for the prestigious, secret magical school hidden within the folds of our mundane world. A place so dangerous, they don’t guarantee you’ll make it out alive. If he doesn't go our entire family will be killed. It’s the same invitation my older brother received three years ago—the same place he mysteriously died. The academy has already killed one sibling. I’ll be damned if they take another. I do the only thing an older sister can: chop off my hair, strap on two bras to flatten the girls, and take my brother’s place. Magic and monsters are real. Assassins are coming for me, and the dead are prone to rise. What’s a girl faking it as a boy supposed to do? That’s right—beat the academy at its own game. Or die trying. Shadowspell Academy Book 1 and Shadowspell Academy Book 2 end with a cliffhanger. less

You Don’t Choose The Academy. The Academy Chooses You. Being accepted into an elite school of magic, monsters, and assassins was not my idea of higher education. But here I am, fighting my way through the Culling Trials to claim my right to be taught. As if the gauntlet-type physical and mental tests aren’t enough, people are going missing. People that are my friends. In a dangerous world where no one is as they seem, the golden rule is simple: Trust no one... moreYou Don’t Choose The Academy. The Academy Chooses You.

As if the gauntlet-type physical and mental tests aren’t enough, people are going missing. People that are my friends. In a dangerous world where no one is as they seem, the golden rule is simple: Trust no one. They think we should just look out for ourselves. That we should leave the fallen behind and ask no questions. They clearly think we’re idiots. I got this far by trusting my instincts, and I’m not going to back down now. Those kids won’t be left to die. Not on my watch. Shadowspell Academy Book 1 and Shadowspell Academy Book 2 end with a cliffhanger Book 3 will release June 11, 2019 less

You Don’t Choose The Academy. The Academy Chooses You. The last of the Culling Trials is here. I foolishly thought I’d survived the worst. My team is falling to pieces around me and my heart is shattered for the losses I’ve endured. But I can’t stop when I’m so close to the end. There are too many people depending on me. I foolishly thought there wasn’t much more I could lose…until the nature of my bloodline comes to light. I’m not what I thought I was. Not what anyone thought I was... moreYou Don’t Choose The Academy. The Academy Chooses You. The last of the Culling Trials is here. I foolishly thought I’d survived the worst.
