A deadly witch academy. Elemental magic that answers to emotion. And a forbidden romance with a morally gray hero who will burn the world down to keep her safe—and lie to her face while he does it.

Jade Harrington wasn't supposed to have magic at all, let alone the silver lightning that marks her as the most dangerous student on a volcanic island full of witches. And she definitely wasn't supposed to fall for Logan Ashford, the infuriatingly controlled proctor who trains her in secret, kisses her like she's the only thing keeping him human, and guards his own darkness with a ferocity that terrifies her.

But after the devastating events of Halloween night, two people are missing, and the Witch Council sends investigators to find out why. Every answer they uncover drags them closer to the truth Jade’s desperate to hide, and even Logan's walls are starting to crack under the pressure.

However, the investigation soon becomes the least of Jade’s problems. Because when monsters breach the island, Jade's lightning explodes in front of everyone—shattering the secret Logan nearly destroyed himself to protect and launching them into a monster-infested sea that was never meant to let anyone leave alive.

Darkest Storm is the second book in the Witch Blade series by USA Today bestselling author Michelle Madow. Perfect for fans of Fourth Wing, this dark academia romantasy features a volcanic island witch academy, fire and storm magic, a morally gray hero with dark secrets, spicy forbidden romance, and a battle that shatters reality.
