`Immensely fun and sexy . . . everything I love about dark academia' - Ali Hazelwood, author of BrideLOVE. LIES. BETRAYAL. WELCOME BACK TO SORROWSONG UNIVERSITY . . . Alex Corbeau-Green left his heart behind. Now his world is burning down, and Ophelia Winters is desperate to prove she didn't strike the match. When she first joined Sorrowsong University, she wanted nothing more than to destroy Alex and his high-powered family. But that was before she knew him - before she fell for the man behind the reputation. In the face of an unthinkable betrayal and the disappearance of his father, Alex is forced to return to New York, hoping to forget what he had with Ophelia and to undo the damage done to his family. In Scotland, Ophelia is left reeling, alone . . . and watched. With a new anonymous tormentor threatening them both, the pair find themselves drawn back to one another. But can they rebuild the love and trust between them? And, even if they can, will it be enough to keep them alive? From Autumn Woods, Daybreak is the stunning conclusion to the Sunday Times bestseller Nightshade - a dark academia romance brimming with snarky banter, shadowy figures, and sizzling tension.
