Publisher's summary

I finally learned how to use my powers, and just when things were starting to look up, I was attacked and everything changed.

A student on a Dox-induced rampage ripped through the academy grounds in order to get to me. Dozens were hurt, myself included, but with the help of my friends, I was able to put an end to the chaos.

I barely escaped with my life, and I was happy that it was over, but something’s been different since the attack.

After I recovered, I noticed that my powers are no longer working like they should.

Dr. Kresnik and Mr. Hoover said that everything’s fine, but for some reason, it hurts to channel my energy, and when I summon my flames, it’s barely an ember.

Everyone thinks I’m a hero because of what I did to stop that attack, but I don’t feel like it. I feel a lot of things, but none of them are remotely heroic. If anything, I’m afraid.

Things are changing, and I’d feel a lot better about it if my powers were back in commission. Even at my strongest, I was too weak to win on my own. If something were to happen now when the academy is vulnerable, I wouldn’t stand a chance…and that’s just the thing.

Something is happening. The longer I stay here, the more I can see that things are beginning to shift.

A change is coming, and I need to be prepared for whatever comes my way. We all do, but first, I need to figure out what's going on with my abilities.

Chapter 15?

Chapter 15 needs to be re-recorded. There is a few minute span where audio tracks are overlayed, and it's near impossible to follow. Other than that,this is a great 2nd book for the series.

Love it, but short

I love the story, the performances was great, and the mystery. it really is too short though. I feel it could have more world building and character development.

good book but too short... definitely worthy thou

It was a really good book I enjoyed it the narrator was good And it was strongly written but Molly critique is that the book is too short just like the 1st it seems like book one and book 2 could have really just been 1 book and it Still would have been short But overall it's a fun ride definitely recommend
