Book Two of the Shadowside Trilogy. Madison Leonine is back at the University of Transylvania. It's a new year bringing unique challenges and the reappearance of old enemies. With the school expanding to be more diverse in its population, there's a wealth of new classmates and professors for her to interact with - including a missing sister. As her feelings for Josh and her circle of friends grow, Madison learns more about her bloodlines and what the word family actually means for her. Madison knows her inclusive and tolerant way of thinking is at odds with many of the traditions in Shadow and will be met with resistance, perhaps even violence. Can she face all the obstacles this year will put in her path while keeping those she loves protected? Will she be able to be the leader they need her to be? And does she even want the job?
