A Nephilim, a demon and a mage walk into a psychiatric hospital. This isn’t a joke. There’s no punchline. My name is Alessia Hastings. Welcome to my personal hell.

My weekly visit to Nanna’s psychiatric hospital ends with me in a celestial jail cell. Now an impossibly gorgeous Nephilim with a face I want to kiss, and an attitude I want to punch, tells me I’m not quite human.

Too bad they can’t tell exactly what I am. Only that my magic is dangerous. Which means I’ve earned a one way invitation to Bloodline Academy: A secret magical school that teaches the next generation of supernatural monsters how to go bump in the night.

You’d think the resident supernaturals would be my biggest problem at the Academy. But it’s the voices in my head that scare me.

Finishing this semester alive is going to be treacherous. Not making it through could mean the end of the world. No pressure.

A thief is the only one who stands between her people and complete annihilation.

Liss is a Soul Sorter who can sense any emotion a person is feeling. She uses this talent to steal jewels and dragonhide wallets to help provide for her people, the Extended. A side benefit of her thieving is that she gets to empty the pockets of the wealthy Lagonians, who shun the Extended for the deadly disease that runs in their veins.

When the Lagonians announce that they’ve developed a source of immunity, they are no longer content to just ostracize the Extended. The Lagonians plan to eradicate them.

The only way for Liss to save her people is if she can pull off her biggest heist yet and steal the secret to the immunity.
