Crown of Blood, Academy of the Damned

Blood Magic could be the first step in freeing the statues, but performing the spell isn’t without consequences.


There’s one way to break the stone curse of La Voisin School for Witches, and the secret lies within the Soule family book of shadows.

But to find its location, Madison, Krista, and Ivy must perform a blood magic ritual using three not-so-simple ingredients: the bones of a dead animal, the hair of a drowned girl, and an athame made of rubies and gold.

Who would have guessed that last item would be the most dangerous to acquire?

Just as Madison gathers the last item needed to perform the spell, she falls into a trap—one set by someone she once trusted. Now she’s finally discovered where the missing students have gone...only to realize she might be the next to disappear.

Fans of Stephenie Meyers’ Twilight and Bella Forrest’s Harley Merlin series will devour Crown of Blood, book three of Veronica Shade’s Academy of the Damned.
