A curse so wicked it could ruin us all...

With two curses broken and another one knocking at my dorm room door, I can't seem to catch a break. Is the constant string of unfortunate events just a normal case of bad luck, or something else?

A week is all I need to give the Reperio Stone enough time to recharge so I can locate my mother, but my plan is railroaded when everything takes a turn for the worst.

With a man I love being held by the darkness, and the unknown whereabouts of my mum, I have an impossible choice to make—one that could change things forever.

One thing is certain: the best and worst are yet to come, and I don't know if I can handle either.

Ancient Magic is the third instalment in this paranormal academy romance series full of temptation, risk, and heart-stopping angst.
