'Immensely fun and sexy . . . everything I love about dark academia' Ali Hazelwood BETRAYAL. HEARTBREAK. DEADLY NEW THREATS. WELCOME BACK TO SORROWSONG UNIVERSITY. . . Alex Corbeau-Green's world is burning. Ophelia Winters is desperate to prove she didn't start the fire . . . Ophelia came to the elite Sorrowsong University to destroy Alex and his family. But that was before she knew him. Before their love became each of their reasons for living. Now, an unthinkable betrayal and his father's disappearance forces Alex back to New York, desperate to forget what they had and salvage his empire. Ophelia is left behind in the Scottish Highlands, reeling, alone . . . and watched. When a new, anonymous tormentor threatens to reveal evidence that Ophelia and Alex committed a murder on campus, it's clear they're going to need each other once again. But can they find a way to trust each other and repair the love they had? And even if they can - will it be enough this time to keep them alive?
