Stones of Amaria

A killer stalks the halls of Necromancer Academy...and I hope I won't get caught. Last spring, Dawn found her older brother dead in a pool of his blood. His killer stood over him, wearing a smile as sharp and ghastly as his knife. Last summer, she tracked the killer down. He's a student at Necromancer Academy and part of a secret fraternity known as the Diabolicals. This fall, Dawn will scrap her admission to the prestigious White Magic Academy. She'll trade sparkly healing charms and bright dresses for death charms and black cloaks. She'll melt into the shadowy halls of Necromancer Academy. And she will have her revenge.

For three long months, Dawn awaits her fate while rotting in a dungeon. But when a stroke of luck finally springs her free, her punishment is far from over.Five of the six Stones of Amaria have been activated. Only the onyx remains. Someone is determined to help Ryze return so he can rule Amaria with a crushing fist-but Dawn still doesn't know who.Guard the stone, her brother told her.She vows to do exactly that while hunting down a murderer-or murderers.While Dawn stalks the halls of Necromancer Academy once again, it becomes painfully clear that no one is as they seem.But one thing is certain-time is running out to stop Ryze from returning.
