Divergent meets Fourth Wing in the thrilling world of The Confluence Academy, where teens harness elemental magic and bond powerful beasts—a heart-pounding romantasy series from USA Today bestselling author, Penelope Bloom.

Students are branded by water, air, earth, or fire. But nineteen-year-old Nessa’s mark is different. A silver spiral―the mark of an unbound. It’s a power so dangerous that her kind were hunted to extinction centuries ago―or so the Empire claims. Nessa’s greatest threat may be the only other volunteer―Raith Hollow, a powerful fire affinity whose scorching gaze follows her every move and whose secrets could topple kingdoms.

Alliances are forged in blood, enemies circle like vultures, and forbidden desires close in. Death once seemed like release from her tragic past. Now it's not an option. Nessa will embrace her terrible potential or watch everything she's fought for burn.

At Confluence Academy, students leave as weapons ... or they don't leave at all.
