Secrets and Shadows by Demi Warrik

My goals for the next four years are simple:
Survive life at Obsidian Academy.
Successfully summon a Shadow—a manifestation of my magic.
And follow in the footsteps of my famous father as a Protector in service to the realm.
Blending into my role should be easy enough, right?
Wrong.

In a world where Protectors like me are divided into Predators and Preys—each with unique affinities—I’m struck by strange occurrences that seem to only affect me. And while I attempt to uncover that mystery, I learn I yield a special power that’s practically unheard of, one people fear might repeat an unstable history.
