Twenty teenagers enter. Only five become guardians. Yahshi Konya shouldn't be one of them. With low test scores, his selection for the Empire's boarding school raises red flags. The guardians are offering him the opportunity of a lifetime, but at what cost? Taking a chance, he joins the aggressive military program and strikes an alliance with two trainees. Vell, the only girl, and Pinto, the overachiever. United, they tackle relentless challenges, watching their competitors dwindle. But the Academy is not what it seems. When dangerous truths emerge, Yahshi finds himself killing his friendships-and possibly his humanity. A gripping tale of power, betrayal, and redemption, Nightshade Academy will leave you walking the tightrope between good and evil.
