Eighth year at Watford. Your final year. And sharing a room with Baz Grimm-Pitch is still a thoroughly unpleasant experience.

You're the Mage's heir. He's the last descendant of an Old Family that has despised everything you represent for generations. Ever since the Crucible paired you together at eleven, living under the same roof has been an endless war of provocations, elegant insults, and hostile glares.

But Baz has a secret: he's a vampire. He slips out in the early hours of the morning, comes back with suspicious stains on his clothes, and tries far too hard to pretend that everything is perfectly fine.

You've started to suspect that something is going on. What you still don't know is that there's something else Baz has been hiding from you for years.

And unlike his other secrets, this one might be the hardest to conceal.
