On lockdown by the Federal Bureau of Magical Investigation, Jewel Academy is going to have to forfeit the annual Sigil Games. Jewel Academy Book Three: City of Emeralds 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. When Andrei find 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. 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. Lola needs the security of a coven, but no coven wants a weakened mage. She’s afraid she’ll lose him to his darkness, but he doesn’t want her help with his personal demons. Still in a blood contract with Andrei, an aristocratic vampire, Lola’s is concerned that her were-lion bodyguard Stefan is growing more distant each passing day. 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. A teenage witch this side of juvenile detention, Lola has a vital secret to keep. Mindbender Lola Bragg found that out the hard way. But when outside forces come to the Jewel Academy, there’s safety in numbers-even if you’re a half-grey witch and a half feral lion shifter. Only Stefan doesn’t want money, doesn’t want anything except to be left alone. If you’re going to rent a thug, you rent the biggest one you can find. If Lola is going to survive the cliques, the course work, and the dangers of Jewel Academy with the mind magic blocker the court put on her wrist, she’s going to need a bodyguard. He would have been a talented painter, if he wasn’t a werelion that everyone expected to go crazy before his next birthday. He communicates through his artwork or his fists. And the grapevine said he had terrorized his family so badly, they made the Jewel Academy board him year-round. Rumor had it, he killed a boy for making fun of him. Lola blew any chance of a scholarship when she convinced her mom’s pervy boss to keep his hands to himself-and while he was at it, buy them a new car and give her mom a raise. Except that she was born with a Tootsie roll pop in her mouth, instead of a silver spoon. She belonged at the Coven School for Girls.
