Description
Old magic. New power. A contest to die for.
From the author of The Woodsmoke Women's Book of Spells (a Waterstones Best Romantasy Pick) comes a dark, sexy, high-stakes magical academy tale for fans of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Scholomance, and deadly slow-burn romance.
Sophia DeWinter has spent her life under the blood-bound control of her cruel uncle, known only as the Collector. But when she learns of Killmarth — an elite academy for magic wielders, beyond his grasp — she sees her chance to escape.
The catch? Admission requires surviving The Ordeals, a brutal trial where failure means death. And Sophia isn’t just battling for a spot — someone is picking off the competitors one by one.
In a world of lies, rivalries, and shadowy alliances, Sophia must decide whether she can trust the powerful Alden Locke… or if she’s just a pawn in another deadly game.
🖤 Dark academia meets steamy romantasy in this atmospheric, high-tension read with enemies-to-lovers sparks and a twist you won't see coming.
