What to expect
Sarah J. Maas meets A Deadly Education in A. M. Strickland’s lush, queer YA dark fantasy novel.
In becoming a vampire, I’m less than a girl. And more.Or maybe I’m becoming what I always have been, deep inside.A blade.
When nineteen-year-old Fin volunteers to take her secret love’s place in their village’s Finding, she is terrified. Those who are chosen at the Finding are whisked away to Castle Courtsheart, a vampire school where human students either succeed and become vampires, fail and spend the rest of their lives as human thralls, or they don’t survive long enough to become either.
Fin is determined to forge a different path: learn how to kill the undead and get revenge for her mother, who was taken by the vampires years ago. But Courtsheart is as captivating as it is deadly, and Fin is quickly swept up in her new world and its inhabitants—particularly Gavron, her handsome and hostile vampire maker, whose blood is nothing short of intoxicating.
As Fin begins to discover new aspects of her own identity and test her newfound powers, she stumbles across a string of murders that may be connected to a larger ritual, one with potentially lethal consequences for vampires and humans alike. Fin must uncover the truth and find the killer before she loses her life—or betrays her own heart.
Court of the Undying Seasons is a deliciously dark romantic novel and a pitch perfect modern take on classic vampire tropes.
Critics Review
“This is a story that pays homage to classics and plays with boarding school and murder-mystery tropes in an original, inventive way…Abso-bloody-lutely brilliant.”
“With brutal romance, vicious stakes, and a twisty mystery, The Court of Undying Seasons takes everything we love about vampires and cranks it to a whole new level.”
“Strickland has done it again! Court of the Undying Seasons is blood-soaked, blade-sharp, and completely enthralling. With a wildly imaginative world, a delightful cast of characters, and prose that expertly threads the needle between creepy and camp, this is a book to be devoured.”
“Enthralling, bloodthirsty, and unapologetically queer, Strickland’s take on vampires is both captivating and fresh.”
“A dark, luscious mystery that will pull readers into a labyrinth of love, betrayal, and blood. A. M. Strickland has crafted a dizzyingly dark reminder that it’s family that makes us human—even if you choose the family yourself, even if you’re no longer human at all.”
