**This paperback edition was previously published as the New York Academy of Magic series. This book is the most up-to-date, though the series name has now changed to The Darkness Within Series**The hunt for the Cursed One is on... Skylar thought she could catch a break. After her near-death encounter with the psychotic leader of the Society, Kasia, and still dealing with the Dark Prince trying to possess her body, she should be on the first flight out to a resort island. Too bad the universe has other plans. Reports of a legendary being called the Cursed One are popping up all over the world. According to Fae myth, whoever manages to find and possess this being will gain unbelievable power. Nearly unstoppable power. Power to do incredible good...or evil. Naturally, Kasia wants it. And Skylar can't let that happen. It's up to her, Asher, and their friends from the Academy to find it first. But with those closest to Skylar harboring dangerous secrets of their own-and her crazy heart telling her it wants Asher as more than a friend-this journey may be the hardest one she's ever taken. It could also be the deadliest. The Cursed One is the second book in the *now complete* YA fantasy Darkness Within series. If you like snarky, fast-paced fantasies full of magical academies, mysteries, and a slow-burn enemies-to lovers romance then you'll love this series!
