The Croaking Volume 2

The Roost - the world’s most prestigious military academy - has never accepted a Crow into its ranks. Until now. However, the conditions surrounding Scra’s acceptance are shrouded in conspiracy, and his new roommate Ky won’t rest until he finds out just where he goes every night. Between flight tests, classes, and Murders, Scra, Ky and Ree must band together to uncover the truth about their utopia and the whispers of a superweapon - “The Croaking” - that are seeping from the cracks.

Recovering from a Magpie attack and indoctrinated into the BlackAsh Murder, Scra finds his newfound friendships tested as they must overcome prejudices, pass classes and question the very system that governs them. However, when Scra’s Murder boss starts making his influence known in his school life, Scra must deal with the consequences of his decisions and figure out if the protection he gained was worth the price.

Deals are struck and lives are in danger – will they fly high or tumble to the depths below?
