Blackwood Magic L J Swallow

Blackwood magic could destroy my lifeMatt Kohler. The academy's most gifted elemental witch. The guy with the big magic-and the bigger ego-never gave me the time of day, until he was forced to work with me. Now I've discovered we share a rare witchbond and a deeper connection than most. Matt has broken too many academy rules and faces expulsion and time at Ravenhold, if he steps out of line again. But Matt's magic is more than disrupting class with clever spells-he's found the Blackwood grimoire and I'm terrified I'll lose him. Matt promised me he'd stop, but when Blackwood magic gets a hold on you, life changes. His decisions lead to shocking consequences and now I don't know where Matt is. People don't understand that life without Matt tears me apart, and I'm not staying at the academy while he's in danger. Nobody will expect the quiet, inferior witch to take a risk, but when I'm with Matt I'm more powerful than they think. All bonded witches will do anything to be together and keep each other safe. The consequences don't matter to either of us. I have allies outside the academy, but are the people offering to help me friends or enemies? And if I do find him, will he be the Matt I knew, or a different one controlled by the magic he tried to escape?Blackwood magic destroys lives, but I won't let their evil destroy mine.
