Pearl of Wisdom - Jewel Academy, #2 - E-book - ePub

Weak equals Prey at the Jewel Academy. Mindbender Lola Bragg found that out the hard way. A teenage witch this side of juvenile detention, Lola has a vital secret to keep. She must keep up the illusion that she is still magically shackled and weakened by anti-magic bracelets otherwise she'll become the prey everyone thinks she is. Still in a blood contract with Andrei, an aristocratic vampire, Lola is worried that her were-lion bodyguard Stefan is growing distant each passing day.
She's afraid she'll lose him to his darkness, but he doesn't want her help with his personal demons. Lola needs the security of a coven, but no coven wants a weakened mage. If she ever wants to drop the illusion and have the powers-that-be trust that she can use her mind magic responsibly, Lola needs to find a way to fit into the Jewel Academy's cliques instead of forging her own alliances with the lunatic fringe of the school's society. When Andrei finds an artifact that could give Lola the answers she needs about her father's murder, she skirts the Academy's rules against using black magic.
With the ever-imposing threat of the FBMI over her head, and of being magically neutered, Lola is determined to find out why her family and her life has been torn apart.
