Each decade, only the six most uniquely talented magicians are selected to earn a place in the Alexandrian Society, the foremost secret society in the world. The chosen will secure a life of power and prestige beyond their wildest dreams.
But at what cost?
Each of the six newest recruits has their reasons for accepting the Society’s elusive invitation. Even if it means growing closer than they could have imagined to their most dangerous enemies— or risking unforgivable betrayal from their most trusted allies— they will fight tooth and nail for the right to join the ranks of the Alexandrians.
Even if it means they won’t all survive the year.
Don't waste your time with this book. It has no plot, the magic system is extremely vague, and I had zero emotional investment in any of the characters. When I read the ending, I just shook my head and breathed a sigh of relief. The ending was just as boring, just as wtf is this crap than the rest of the book.
This book tried to be so much but managed so little. Too many characters’ point of views left each one shallow and many actions felt out of character for them. The author also uses unnecessarily difficult terms a lot. However, I found myself enjoying many parts of this book and may very well pick up the next one in the series to see how the story continues.
