THE GRIMOIRE GIRLS

Book Two: Bloodlines & Moonmarks

by B.K. Drakus

Truth cracked Thornvale open. Now the cost of that truth is being tallied.

In the aftermath of forbidden magic and exposed lies, Thornvale Academy claims nothing has changed. Classes resume. Rules tighten. Surveillance is rebranded as safety. But for creature students-especially werewolves-the system sharpens its grip.

Mandatory evaluations. Lunar restrictions. Bloodline records resurrected from sealed archives.

Elara Finch believed knowledge could fix broken systems. She was wrong.

As new laws target creature magic, Rowan Vale hears something the faculty refuses to acknowledge: fear made policy, and control disguised as care. Werewolf students begin showing moonmarks that react not to the moon-but to stress. When a forced transformation goes wrong, Thornvale blames the victims.

Mara Blackwood refuses to stand aside. Her defiance draws lines across the campus-and forces students to choose between obedience and protection.

Meanwhile, Cassian Rook offers a dangerous alternative: safety contracts that promise protection at the cost of freedom. Some accept. Others run. All of them pay.

As bloodlines become political weapons and creature magic pushes back, the trio realizes reform may no longer be possible. Survival might be the only ethical choice left.

Bloodlines & Moonmarks is a darker, more volatile continuation of The Grimoire Girls, exploring power, consent, and what happens when institutions protect themselves instead of the people inside them.

The truth is out. Now the system is fighting back.
