The alarm echoed through every hallway of Hidden Moon Academy.
Once.
Twice.
Three long bells.
Students abandoned their books, conversations, and classes as crimson lights illuminated the castle.
Professor Wren snapped her book shut.
“We have to move.”
“What about the Library of Echoes?” Evelyn asked.
“The enchantments will seal it.”
The hidden room shimmered before disappearing behind an ordinary stone wall.
If Evelyn hadn’t seen it herself, she never would have believed it had existed.

Professor Wren hurried Evelyn into the corridor.
Students were running in every direction.
Some looked frightened.
Others looked excited.
A group of dragon shifters sprinted toward the training grounds instead of their dorms.
“They’re going the wrong way!” Evelyn shouted.
