Will we survive the First's twisted games and stop Gabriella's plans?

We're urgently looking for Gabriella as stories spread about powerful Dominion recruits, created from the First's stolen blood. But where is the Dominion leader, and what plans does she have for her army?

Ash's connection to the dragons takes a step in a new direction, and we discover Gabriella may have turned to the dragon mafia for help. In return, Dorian and the hybrids are willing to help us, but they bring as many problems as they aid in solving.

The First's manipulation continues as we desperately search for a new way to beat the preternatural creature, and Andrei's reckless decision adds more complications. Have his actions created something powerful to use against the First and Gabriella, or has Andrei unknowingly created another danger to our lives?

I'm a Winterfall, but Blackwood magic exists within me. As the risk to my future grows, the bond with Jamie intensifies, and his unwavering desire to keep me safe draws him towards Blackwood magic too. The shadows could be the answer to defeating the First, but can I control the magic everybody's forced me to reject?

As darkness closes in, our loyalty and trust need tightening in the face of new revelations, or we'll weaken against those who would destroy us. Along with Jamie, Andrei, Ash, and Tobias, I've survived hit after hit from enemies wanting to tear us apart. Now the five of us must forge a stronger bond than ever.

Can we kill Gabriella and change the future, or are we destined to be pawns in the First's game?

Winterfall Destiny is the fourth book in the Nightworld Academy: Winterfall series. The Winterfall series is a ‘life after academy' series featuring all the characters from the original Nightworld Academy series. All books in the series must be read first.

Nightworld Academy is a series of young adult paranormal academy books. Perfect for lovers of books with a strong magical heroine who grows into her powers, swoon-worthy guys who love and protect her, and a supernatural world filled with magic, romance, and mystery. This series is a slow-burn why choose romance.

I've a decision to make to save a life, but what if the wrong choice destroys everything?

Thornwood Academy—the bane of my life. A student is missing, and a mysterious intruder lurks in the shadows. The threat of an impending attack hovers above the academy like a well-placed guillotine, with the tension between humans and supernaturals sharper than the blade itself. Something foul is afoot inside the academy, but I'm no closer to identifying who's keeping secrets or what they're planning.

I refused to leave the academy when accused of murder, but now I wish I'd departed on day one. I'm endangering lives—just not in the way those around me once feared. I've allowed people into my life and developed bonds and deep affections, and I'm deadly to them.

The situation isn't only a confusing nightmare for me, but for everybody involved. Grayson is struggling with, well, everything, and I'm striving hard not to take his blood. Rowan worries that stopping my heart once may affect our relationship, but I'm more concerned what will happen when Dorian discovers he can use the shadows. And the spell on Leif that's distressing him? Only my mother's expertise can help, so hopefully she'll keep his brain intact.

I don't recognize myself anymore, and not only due to the awful uniform. Life at Thornwood changed me. I'm Violet Blackwood: hybrid, necromancer, unfeeling and self-assured… or at least, I used to be.

Now, I must rediscover who I am in order to help a friend, even if I risk losing everything else.
