I read the first two books a long time ago and recently listened to them on audio to refresh myself. I was surprised that I really didn’t remember any of book 2 so it was like listening to a new book. This book deals with Alex being pulled into investigating why apprentices are going missing. Two of Luna’s fellow apprentices and friends are not the normal light or dark students since they are under the protection of magical creature instead of a mage. Mage society has rules but the number one rule seems to be is if you don’t have power then you don’t matter. Students don’t have power, so they don’t matter that much. Alex figures out the mystery by the end and saves the day by the skin of his teeth but you know that at some point some of it will come back to haunt him.
