Performed in duet by Elloise Thomson and Liam Cortright.
'Immensely fun and sexy. . . everything I love about dark academia. Autumn Woods wrote a winner!' – Ali Hazelwood, bestselling author of Problematic Summer Romance
Mystery. Murder. Revenge. Welcome to Sorrowsong University . . .
He’d burn the world down for her . . . but she plans to burn his to the ground.
Isolated in the Scottish Highlands, Sorrowsong University only welcomes students from the most powerful families. Ophelia Winters doesn’t belong, but a rare scholarship grants her the perfect opportunity to investigate her parents’ ‘accidental’ death near the castle grounds.
Things get off to a rocky start when she runs afoul of the mysterious Alex Corbeau-Green – son of her prime suspect. As far as she’s concerned, he is just a younger version of his billionaire father. A monster hiding beneath a beautiful façade.
When an unknown tormentor begins to stalk Ophelia, she realizes she may not be able to survive Sorrowsong on her own. Alex becomes her unexpected ally – and alibi for murder. And as she begins to fall for the soft heart that hides beneath his hard exterior, her hunger for revenge wavers for the first time.
Can she really bring herself to destroy everything he’s ever known?
The Sunday Times bestselling dark academia TikTok sensation packed with romantic suspense, murder, and addictive, enemies-to-lovers tension.
