An atmospheric dark academia fantasy for fans of The Atlas Six, The Binding, The Hazel Wood and Fourth Wing, set in a world of lunar magic, secret societies and dangerous friendships.
Emory is returning to the prestigious Aldryn College for Lunar Magic for one reason: to uncover the secrets behind the night that left her best friend, Romie, and seven other students dead.
But Emory has plenty of secrets herself, not least that her healing abilities have been corrupted by a strange, impossible magic, granting her power no one should possess.
Turning to the only person she believes she can trust, Emory enlists the help of Romies brother Baz someone already well-versed in the dangers of his own dark Eclipse magic.
But when the supposedly drowned students start washing ashore alive only for them each immediately to die horrible, magical deaths, Emory and Baz are no longer the only ones seeking answers.
There's a hidden society at the heart of the school, and theyre attracted to nothing more than they are to power...
