Odette Elodie Cinwell never imagined she would die so young, much less return to the past and be given a second chance. After an existence filled with suffering and injustice as the daughter of the king's advisor and fiancée to the crown prince, she decides to run away from it all in this new life and try to alter the course of her future.

Just when she thinks she has succeeded and found her place, her entire world is turned upside down upon being summoned to the Testing, where her power will be examined to determine whether she must attend the Academy—the realm's sole magical university, where candidates compete for the highest scores. Everything is fair game at the Academy, even murder.

The problem isn't just that Odette has hidden her magic for years, but that all of her enemies are at the university: Prince Vesper, her fiancé; Senna, her wicked stepsister; and the darkest, most dangerous being in the realm, the Eternal who played a part in her death and haunts her every dream: Rune Evander.

Odette will have to survive the threats of those who want to destroy her, the dangers of the Academy, and the secrets hidden within its walls.
