A year and a half ago, I arrived at the academy as a powerless student. I hated all the guards because they stole from me my normal life, and I considered demons and archangels to be nothing more than monsters incapable of feelings. But I was seriously wrong. The world has never been so complex and so dangerous, and the choice is hard. The war of three worlds continues, and I’m at a crossroads—only preparing to choose my final side. One thing is certain: I won’t be able to stay aside—I’ve exhausted that chance. And soon I’ll have to decide: who is the enemy, who is the friend, and who I am myself.
