How far would you go to save someone you love?At the magic world's most elite school, there is something peculiar about Ren Crown's power. Even amid an eclectic student body, she sticks out-and the wrong people have started to notice.Her paintbrush brings objects to life-why not her twin brother, too? But even in a world where layers of magic create entire worlds on top of our own, some rules should never be broken.Unfortunately, evil will stop at nothing to use Ren and her unimaginable ability.With the help of the most brilliant minds on campus, Ren will risk everything to master her power and fight back-forcing her to choose how far she is willing to go for the ones she loves.

Barely surviving her first term at college, all Ren wants to do over break is relax and bond with her roommate-not get eaten by a sentient building or attacked on the street. But with increasingly open warfare brewing between the magical factions and Layers of the world, this time, Ren will not fail in making sure everyone she loves stays safe and protected. That includes doing things like filling her parents' house with personal art heavily embedded with wards, bubble-wrapping her increasingly imperiled roommate, and even making sure that a certain sexy thorn-in-her-side continues to breathe free air. Finding herself on duty protecting the entire university alongside campus god Alexander Dare...was not what she'd had in mind. But this time it's not only her life on the line. And Ren will do anything to protect those she loves. * The Protection of Ren Crown is the second book in the Ren Crown series. * The Awakening of Ren Crown is the first book in the series.
