About the book

USA Today and International Bestselling Duology "Immensely fun and sexy . . . everything I love about dark academia and new adult!" --#1 New York Times bestselling author Ali Hazelwood Maxton Hall meets RuNyx in the stunning conclusion to the Nightshade duology, a dark academia romance brimming with snarky banter and sizzling tension, in which Alex and Ophelia must fight through betrayal, heartbreak, and deadly new threats. Alex's Corbeau-Green's world is burning down around him, and Ophelia Winters is desperate to prove she didn't light the fire. When Ophelia first accepted a scholarship from Sorrowsong, an elite university in the Scottish Highlands, she wanted nothing more than to destroy Alex and his family at any cost. But that was before she knew him, before they became each other's everything. Now, after an unthinkable betrayal and the disappearance of his father, Alex is forced to return to New York, desperate to forget what they had, and salvage the damage done to his family. In Scotland, Ophelia is left reeling, alone . . . and watched. With a new anonymous tormentor threatening to release evidence that Ophelia and Alex committed a murder on campus, it's clear that they're going to need each other once again. But can they find a way to trust each other, and repair the love that they had? And even if they can--will it be enough this time to keep them alive?
