'Immensely fun and sexy. . . everything I love about dark academia. Autumn Woods wrote a winner!' – Ali Hazelwood, bestselling author of Problematic Summer Romance


Mystery. Murder. Revenge. Welcome to Sorrowsong University . . .

He’d burn the world down for her . . . but she plans to burn his to the ground.

Isolated in the Scottish Highlands, Sorrowsong University only welcomes students from the most powerful families. Ophelia Winters doesn’t belong, but a rare scholarship grants her the perfect opportunity to investigate her parents’ ‘accidental’ death near the castle grounds.

Things get off to a rocky start when she runs afoul of the mysterious Alex Corbeau-Green – son of her prime suspect. As far as she’s concerned, he is just a younger version of his billionaire father. A monster hiding beneath a beautiful façade.

When an unknown tormentor begins to stalk Ophelia, she realizes she may not be able to survive Sorrowsong on her own. Alex becomes her unexpected ally – and alibi for murder. And as she begins to fall for the soft heart that hides beneath his hard exterior, her hunger for revenge wavers for the first time.

Can she really bring herself to destroy everything he’s ever known?

The Sunday Times bestselling dark academia TikTok sensation packed with romantic suspense, murder, and addictive, enemies-to-lovers tension.

Immensely fun and sexy – this book combines everything I love about dark academia and new adult! Autumn Woods wrote a winner! (Ali Hazelwood, Sunday Times bestselling author of Bride and Mate)

The narrators are fabulous, really great story I can’t wait for the next book, the only thing I didn’t like too much was the intimate scenes, they felt very rushed and lacked detail were I wasn’t quite sure what was actually happening.

Really good book

This book was amazing, I did not expect the twists and turns and how funny it was. But the cliffhanger, why, when? How long must we wait. I can’t wait for the next instalment.

The cliffhanger…

What a story!! I don’t know how I’ll wait for the next instalment. This was wonderful. Brilliant writing, engrossing narration, sparkling characterisation. I’ll be waiting with bated breath for part two. Thank you to the author and the narrators - this was fun!!

I read Nightshade earlier this year. It was a 5 star read for me, I absolutely loved it and in my top reads of the year.
I needed to use up some audible credits so thought I’d buy the audio for a bit of a reread after the book 2 announcement.
The voice of Alex was not at all what I imagined when reading my physical book, so it did take me a while to settle into this. By about half way I’d got used to it and thoroughly enjoyed the listen. Ophelia was perfection. It’s sometimes not easy to have read a book then listen to the audio, we imagine the voices in our heads and sometimes what we hear doesn’t quite fit our own ideas. If anyone feels like me, then stick with it. I love a duet when it’s done well and once I’d moved beyond my own ideas of what Alex should sound like, I ate this up!
