What to expect
Life is a battlefield. Death is just a girl.
'Paranormal lovers rejoice, your new obsession has arrived!' HANNAH WHITTEN
Jocasta has built a normal life at Beecher University - well, as normal it can be when you're the only child of Death.
No one close to her knows the truth about who - or what - she is. Or that she must feed to survive, and she feeds on them - their disappointments, failures, and quiet regrets. It's not a perfect system, but it works . . . for now.
Jo has found friends and a place she finally belongs - and she's almost forgotten the one person she should never have wanted. But when a mysterious new arrival - a descendant of Lust - comes to campus, he brings a message that changes everything: Death has named her his successor.
Now she's both a powerful ally and a massive threat, and every relationship she's built is now a weakness.
But Beecher University is the one place that has ever felt like home, and Jo will do anything to protect it. Even if the closer she gets to her power, the less she recognises herself . . .
✨ Gods & descendants in the modern world
✨ A mystery that won't stay buried
✨ A campus full of hidden secrets
✨ A morally grey heroine
✨ Dangerous, tangled attraction
✨ Power that comes at a cost
Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets Nightshade in this darkly witty urban fantasy set at a university, blending paranormal intrigue, tangled attraction, and a deadly mystery, perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo.
