Description

As the autumn equinox approaches, distrust mounts, forcing them to confront the true nature of their destiny, before it’s too late and they are lost to the shadows forever.
- Masterfully intertwines themes of mental health and the bonds of found family
- Featuring BookTok's favourite tropes: friends-to-lovers, love triangle, touch her and you die
- For readers aged 12+ and perfect for fans of Percy Jackson and Legendborn
