"Do you want me to be dangerous?" he asked, his
voice husky and low.
I gulped, and for a moment I was incapable of speech. But he
was quiet, waiting. "No. I don't."
"Then I'm not dangerous at all," he murmured. His
gaze moved from my eyes to my mouth. "You've never been safer than you are
at this moment." I shivered as his breath tickled my skin. Our lips were
mere millimeters apart when the sky shattered in a kaleidoscope of colored
light.
We didn’t know how much we had to lose until we were
infected with magic. Sam was in love, Juliette was the main caretaker for her
siblings, and Ana and her dad planned the best parties in New York. But we lost
it all when we were shipped to Chebeague, an exclusive school for newly
infected mages.
Everyone knows about the mages, those who survive the
infection and end up with magical abilities. We’ve seen the power of magic, the
high-paying jobs, and the world fame. But we never saw the cost. We didn’t know
we’d be forced to give up everything: sanity, family, even the right to talk on
the phone.
We didn’t know mage was just another word for prisoner.
