Dark Embers by Tricia Barr

Arya’s first week at the Academy for the Shifted was grueling, especially after narrowly surviving the prank by the mean girls. She’s determined to stand her ground and thrive at this school, but every new step forward just makes things more and more difficult.

She still can’t shift at will. She still can’t control her water powers. And she still can’t fight worth a damn. And to make matters worse, the smoldering dragon shifter Tobias is even more hot-and-cold than before.
But Arya doesn’t know that Tobias has imprinted on her, or that his family line has been damned with a curse—if a Dracul falls in love with someone, or vice versa, that love is doomed to be forever unrequited. Tobias doesn’t want that fate for either of them, but the imprint bond makes it impossible for him to resist her. He’s determined to find a way to break the bond, for both their sakes.
When a vampire attack on a student turns suspicion on Arya, all hell breaks loose, and a secret about Arya’s lineage comes to the surface in disastrous fashion when someone close to her commits the ultimate betrayal. How is Arya going to survive this latest blow?
