When Adri is offered an all-expenses-paid trip to the exclusive
Solstice Festival, it feels like the graduation gift of a lifetime!
But when she arrives, she quickly realises it's not
Instagram-ready. There's no water, no food, and no security in
sight - which means there's no one to help when a dead body is
found on the beach. With connections to the festival planners, Adri
gets a front-row seat as everything devolves into chaos - and she's
in a prime position to put together the clues to who - or what - is
killing off the crowd one by one.

like the feeling of fear.

while battling her own complicated feelings for Cardan. Now a year and
a day seems like no time at all . . .
New for 2025, the thrilling dark academia debut novel for young adult readers, set at a magical boarding school in purgatory. For fans of Leigh Bardugo’s Ninth House Olivie Blake's The Atlas Six and Naomi Novik's A Deadly Education.
Welcome to Blackwood Academy: a boarding school located on the fringes of the afterlife.
No one knows why they end up at Blackwood; but when they enter the school's arched gates the only way out is to be chosen for the Decennial – a series of magical trials held once a decade. The chosen pupil is offered a choice: graduate and join Blackwood’s magical elite, or venture into the unknown and cross over to the Other Side.
Wren knows she has what it takes to win―unless, that is, her arch-rival (and subject of her tortured dreams) Augustine steals her spot.
Irene has never cared about playing by the rules and will break whatever (and whoever) stands in her way, including her only friend, Masika.
Olivier has given up securing the nomination. But he’ll stop at nothing to keep Emilio, from crossing over to the Other Side.
All are determined to be Blackwood’s chosen candidate. All are determined to win. But this Decennial will be unlike any before.
Six nominees.
Four trials.
One victor.
The competitors are about to learn that there are some fates worse than death.

redemption, or plotting her final revenge? With the Teran rising

friends will have to fight to save weather as we know it. Cover
