„Utroligt underholdende og sexet … alt det, jeg elsker ved dark academia.“ – ALI HAZELWOOD Langt oppe i det skotske højland, skjult bag tåge og gamle stenmure, ligger Sorrowsong University – en skole for børn af verdens mest magtfulde familier. Ophelia hører ikke til der. Men et stipendie giver hende en chance for at komme helt tæt på dem, der måske bærer skylden for hendes forældres død. En ulykke, sagde de. Hun ved bedre. Men nogen holder øje med Ophelia, og da truslerne begynder, er det Alex Corbeau-Green, søn af hendes hovedmistænkte, der uventet træder til som hendes beskytter. Alex er arrogant og farlig, alt det, hun har lært at frygte. Men bag den kølige facade gemmer der sig noget andet. Og jo tættere de kommer på hinanden, desto mere vakler Ophelias ønske om hævn. For Sorrowsong er ikke bare en skole. Det er en labyrint af løgne og lukkede døre, hvor kærlighed kan koste dig livet.

A love so forbidden, it would shake the heavens ... My father called them messengers. He once told me they walked among us, and that somewhere in this dark and godless city, there shined a faint sliver of hope. I had only to look for the signs. Well, I've spent my whole life investigating the inexplicable, and all I've found are the unsettling vestiges of iniquity - the evidence of another world shrouded by the obscure. Purgatory to some, where depravity hides in shadows, and girls like me are little more than delicious bites of temptation. Others call it Nightshade. This peculiar place is where I first met the cold and callous recluse living in a decaying cliffside cathedral. Jericho Van Croix is the epitome of everything I've been told to fear. A raven-winged harbinger who wears intrigue like a warm black cloak. An enigma that I'm determined to unravel - even if it means getting closer than I should. One touch is forbidden. Even so much as a kiss would be my demise. But the sin on his lips burns me up like a wild flame, and his growing infatuation weakens my resolve. Giving him what he wants, though, will mean no chance for redemption, or escape. What's worse is, the signs I've followed yet failed to see all these years begin to unmask a terrifying reality: That falling may be my only saving grace.
