On the outside, Ruby’s just another college student trying to survive exams and life without her parents.On the inside? She’s something else entirely.Magic has started showing up in Ruby’s life, and she is trying very hard not to use it. The bigger problem is that the dragon she thought was imaginary is back. Luke keeps popping up in her classes and causing mischief while she is just trying to learn like a normal person.Then Ty shows up, and things get worse. He is an annoyingly charming stranger from another world who immediately calls her what she is: a witch.He also has answers.And unfortunately… warnings.Ruby’s magic isn’t just rare. It’s wanted. There are people out there who would steal it, kill for it, and hunt down anything connected to her. Including her dragon.And the thing is, every time Ruby uses magic, something has to give. The universe always collects.Which would be terrifying… if she hadn’t also discovered that magic is weirdly useful for petty revenge. Like, say, fixing her ex-boyfriend’s “perfect” skin situation. Suddenly, survival feels a lot more complicated.And magic a lot more tempting.
