About this book

The Reckoning When a mysterious lunar eclipse looms on the horizon, senior students at this magical academy are tasked with tormenting freshmen through a brutal week called The Reckoning, but Tory and Darcy quickly discover there's far more at stake than just passing their fateful assessment. Dark forces are stirring in the shadows, and the truth they're desperate to uncover could change everything—if the encroaching darkness doesn't consume them first. With enemies circling closer and an undeniable pull drawing them together, these two must decide whether they can trust each other enough to face what's coming. It's a deliciously tense paranormal romance that blends high-stakes magic, creeping danger, and that irresistible tension between two people who were never supposed to want each other.

Dark, sensual energy with gothic undertones and ethereal fae magic. Mix moody indie-rock (Phoebe Bridgers, The National), atmospheric orchestral swells, industrial synths, and sultry R&B. Build tension between soft vulnerability and intense passion—shadows dancing with desire.
