The Traitor's Codex (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789349611092)

She trusted the wrong person. Now everyone will pay the price.

At the elite Ironheart Academy, mastering elemental magic isn't just education-it's survival. For seventeen-year-old Lina, whose volatile powers mark her as both prodigy and outcast, keeping her abilities hidden seems safer than facing the truth: she's more powerful than anyone suspects.

But secrets have a way of exploding at the worst possible moments.

When her first elemental trial becomes a spectacular disaster, Lina's carefully constructed world begins to crumble.

Political factions are rising within the academy's marble halls. Students choose sides in dangerous games of loyalty and ambition. And someone Lina trusts completely-someone who knows her deepest fears and greatest strengths-commits the ultimate betrayal.

The ally who promised to protect her becomes the enemy determined to destroy her.

Now Lina must master not just her explosive elemental magic, but the even deadlier art of knowing who to trust.

As hidden truths about her past surface and the academy's leadership reveals their dark agenda, Lina discovers that her "failures" were never accidents. Her powers, her struggles, even her friendships-everything has been orchestrated by those she trusted most.

The final trial isn't about mastering the elements. It's about surviving the people who claim to love you.

In a climactic battle that will reshape Ironheart Academy forever, Lina must unite fractured alliances, embrace the full extent of her dangerous abilities, and face an impossible choice: save the institution that betrayed her, or watch it burn.

Some lessons can only be learned through fire. Some truths can only be revealed through betrayal.
