In the clutches of darkness

A few weeks ago, Zoey King’s life changed in an instant. Not only did she discover that, unlike her famous mother, she possesses deadly magic and is a Grim, but she also came to the bitter realisation that her best friend, Violet, is not the person she thought she had known her entire life.
Since then, Zoey has been trying her best to forget what happened and to numb the pain at as many parties as possible. This would be much easier if Dylan Dae Park didn't keep getting in her way. It's bad enough that this Reaper has to continue tutoring her and training her in combat sports – and on top of that, he's pretending the kiss that once happened between them never took place.
And as if that weren't enough, Zoey's grades after transferring to Silver Raven House are nothing to write home about either. But at least that looks like it will have a solution, because the final tournament is approaching at Everfall Academy, and in three trials that will test combat skills, as well as intelligence, courage, and bravery, Zoey can collect extra points for her report card. However, the very first task proves to be much more dangerous than Zoey could ever imagine.
And soon it becomes clear that it's not just her own life at stake, but the lives of the people who mean everything to her…
