Kimberly has ultimate cosmic power, but try putting that on a résumé without a diploma. Until she graduates from the secret Blackhollow Academy, she’s stuck slinging coffee, dodging bills, and living with her mom. There’s just one problem: no diploma without a familiar.
As an illusionist, summoning one is impossible. Her only shot is convincing a supernatural creature to let her bind it. And why settle for a cat or a raven when a dragon—complete with treasure hoard—might be game?
Enter a legendary, sarcastic, and very much unbindable dragon who sees through every one of her tricks.
The magi want to control her. Others want her gone for good. If she fails, her future goes up in smoke. But what if the dragon has plans of his own?
