Wicked Spirit

The Veritas Legacy #2 / 2
by Debbie Cassidy
Wicked Spirit (The Veritas Legacy #2) by Debbie Cassidy
Unrated

At a deadly magical academy where failure means death, a girl cursed with forbidden power must survive deadly trials, ruthless hunts, and an addictive attraction to the one man she shouldn't trust. This sequel to USA Today bestselling Wicked Onyx is packed with found family, slow-burn romance, and heart-stopping, high-stakes twists.

Nightsbridge Academy has a dark soul–and he knows my name.

With a fragment of my stolen power restored, I should feel whole…alive. Instead, my magic has evolved into something dangerous and entirely unwanted. But the truth is impossible to ignore.

I am no ordinary sorcerer. I am a Veil Walker.

If I want to get my hands on the Libra Veritas, I can’t afford any distractions–especially not the spirit world clawing at me. That’s easier said than done when I’m fast-tracked into advanced classes, dragged onto active hunt duty, and placed under the supervision of the last man I could ever trust–Sterling Damascus.

Horrors are evolving. Students are disappearing. And revenge has a flavor I can almost taste.

Between brutal hunts and a tincture designed to reveal a monster’s truest self, I’m learning that power always comes with consequences. So does desire. So does loyalty.

At Nightsbridge, love can get you killed, magic never forgets, and surviving is only the beginning.

Class is back in session–and this time, the dark is hunting back.

Also known as Wicked Onyx Book 2.

Debbie Cassidy

In the tangled streets of urban fantasy and the shadowy edges of paranormal romance, Debbie Cassidy has carved out a fiercely imaginative niche—where myths breathe, magic bites, and the heroine always has a blade (or biting comeback) at the ready. With dozens of titles and millions of pages devoured by readers around the world, Cassidy isn’t just prolific; she’s a world-builder with a pulse for pace and a deep affection for the beautifully monstrous.

Raised in Bedfordshire, England, Cassidy didn’t grow up dreaming of dragons and djinn—at least, not out loud. But somewhere between real-life chaos (juggling three kids and a day job) and late-night writing sprints, she started releasing stories that refused to stay tame. Her breakout series, Deadside Reapers, spun a reaper’s tale laced with grit, romance, and ghost-hunting tension, quickly earning her a devoted fanbase. From there, the worlds kept coming: post-apocalyptic Londons teeming with supernatural politics, coastal towns hiding wolf packs, and reverse harem adventures that twisted fate and desire into something both epic and intimate.

Cassidy’s work is driven by sharp heroines who aren’t waiting to be rescued, complex supernatural systems steeped in mythology—from Norse and Hindu to entirely her own—and a tone that swings between heart-wrenching intensity and laugh-out-loud sarcasm. Her characters bleed, grow, and love in equal measure, often while saving the world (or occasionally burning it down).

Writing under both her name and the co-author alias Amos Cassidy (alongside Richard Amos), she has explored everything from vampire hunters to elemental guardians. Yet her stories always circle back to a familiar core: survival, sisterhood, found family, and the electric space where love meets danger.

Never content to follow one path for long, Cassidy's storytelling remains in motion—restless, rich, and undeniably magnetic. Whether you’re stepping into The Nightwatch universe, wandering the Chronicles of Midnight, or falling into the world of The Gatekeeper Chronicles, you’re entering a realm built by someone who knows exactly where the shadows fall—and how to make them dance.
