Ahnungslos an dem Ort gelandet zu sein, den Robin seit Jahren meidet, katapultiert ihre Gefühlswelt in die Vergangenheit.

Das sieht auch Lion und ist entschlossen, ihr dabei zu helfen, aus der Phönixakademie zu verschwinden. Allerdings durchkreuzt diese Art von Einmischung Frederiks Pläne und so begibt sich Lion für Robin in Lebensgefahr.

A reality that I've been trying to avoid. Being near the boys draw it out. Being close to them also make me unafraid for the first time in my life. I've never felt like this before, but at the same time, my mind has latched onto the feelings they evoke. Julian encourages me, Miles comforts me, Titus protects me, and Damen.... Damen gives me something to believe in.

After a brutal attack at the end of her freshman year leaves her questioning her very nature, she sets out to find the truth about Ravenwood and the students who walk the academy’s halls. One thing’s for sure - nothing at Ravenwood is as it seems. When she arrives on the campus, she learns that she has a new roommate who’s supposedly just like her and a new class that promises answers to her questions.

The Academy has been taken over by a mass murderer and no one knows but me. Last year, I fought Regent Nyquist and the forces that sought to destroy everything we hold dear...and lost. This year, I’ve agreed to be a spy, a double agent who aligns herself with the very person who killed people I care about and banished others. And it sucks worse than the domestic grout cleaning spells we’re now forced to learn.

Robin wird wegen ihrer dunklen Magie an der Akademie gefürchtet und angefeindet. Die meisten Schüler und Studenten wollen sie am liebsten wieder vertreiben. Als die Schülersprecherin Kathy Silberstein verspricht, ihr zu helfen, vertraut Robin sich ihr an. Doch das ist ein Fehler, denn Kathy sieht in Robin nur eine Gelegenheit, ihren eigenen Ruhm zu steigern. Bietet die Phönixakademie wirklich die erhoffte Sicherheit? Oder erreicht die Sensation über den schwarzen Phönix bald auch die Außenwelt und verrät Frederik so Robins Aufenthaltsort?

Von Wolken getragen und durch einen Drachenclan beschützt, gleitet die Phönixakademie um die Welt und lehrt ihre Schüler die Magie von Asche und Wiedergeburt.

Auf die Meisten wirkt das Mädchen dadurch beängstigend, doch ausgerechnet der sonst so gleichgültige Lion fühlt sich von der Fremden angezogen.
