Description
The Cruel Prince meets Powerless in this dark academia romantasy retelling of Cinderella, a companion to international bestseller Seven Deadly Thorns
Vesper is about to graduate Clerguemort, a magic school for meigas - people with shadow magic. The last requirement for graduation? A high-stakes competition where meigas must prove their trustworthiness and skill with magic to assimilate into ordinary society. If Vesper fails, she will be exiled forever.
Locked in the school with her classmates until dawn, a series of terrifying challenges have been put in place to test their mettle. But Vesper knows the competition has gone horribly wrong when students start dying. A vicious vampire is searching for Vesper, killing anyone that gets in his way.
To her surprise, Vesper's step-siblings come to her aid. Are they as cruel as she had thought? Or is the real threat still unseen? Is Vesper hunter or hunted? The clock is ticking dangerously close to midnight as Vesper fights to find out.
This story takes place in the same world as Seven Deadly Thorns but with a completely new cast of characters.
