Bone to Bone (Hellhound Academy‪)‬

The resurrection ledger is cracking—and so is Robin Sullivan's second life.

Barely free of the SXSW hauntings and the lake-dwelling Leviathan, the undead cadet uncovers a black-market Memory Merchant siphoning the past straight out of people's heads. One toxin-tipped dart jolts a buried vision of her own sacrifice, proving the Academy's rot runs deeper than a few rogue ghosts.

The trail leads to Mortis, the beloved instructor whose side hustle in soul-trafficking cost Robin her first life. Dragging him before Death's incorruptible court wins a single, chilling clue—Marrows-Board—before the Reapers silence him forever.

Now reality is shredding. Rifts split the Austin skyline, the Leviathan hungers for cosmic power, and rogue Reapers launch a brutal purge on the very school that created them. With her found-family squad—tech-savvy David, kinetic tracker Ashley, and lethal yet conflicted Jude—Robin must seal the breaches, expose Marrows-Board, and keep Death's ledger from igniting the world.

Every step drags her closer to the truth: Robin's soul was sold long before she died. To win this war she'll have to gamble what little remains—and decide whether a girl who's already died twice can still choose how her story ends.
