Three trials. Two rivals. One choice.

The Cruel Prince meets Powerless in this dark academia romantasy of star-crossed lovers, a companion to international bestseller Seven Deadly Thorns

Competition for top student at Gossemort school of magic is cutthroat. Vesper Fontaine and Lonan Duval have always been rivals, but they share a dangerous secret. Tonight, that secret could get them killed.

The annual Solstice feast should be a time to celebrate. But destiny has other plans. A mysterious crown prince arrives and claims Vesper as his bloodmate, triggering a chain of events that turn the celebration into a nightmare. All the students will be locked in the school and challenged to survive until dawn. They will face three trials, each more deadly than the last.

Vesper and Lonan fight off threats at every turn, but as the clock ticks closer to dawn, hope wanes. To survive the night, Vesper must make an impossible choice: embrace a familiar danger or surrender to a new fate.
What if love is a fate worse than death?
