Perfect for you if...

You love dark academia with real stakes: mystery, danger, and romance tangled together rather than separate threads.
You're drawn to enemies-to-lovers when the tension feels earned and the characters genuinely clash on values, not just personality.
You want a page-turner with plot momentum that doesn't let up, especially one that's proven its appeal with 11,000+ readers.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer your romance without murder mysteries or traumatic backstories at the centre of the relationship.
You need resolution by the end of book one; this is part of a series with a cliffhanger.
You don't enjoy stories where the female lead is morally compromised or wrestling with whether revenge is worth destroying someone she loves.

About this book

Nightshade is set at elite Sorrowsong University, hidden in the misty Scottish Highlands. Ophelia Winters attends on a scholarship with a hidden agenda: to investigate her parents' suspicious deaths and hold accountable the powerful man she believes responsible. When Ophelia meets Alex Corbeau-Green—billionaire heir and son of her prime suspect—she initially views him as a monster like his father. However, when a stalker emerges, Alex becomes the only person she can trust within Sorrowsong's secret-laden hallways. As tension between them grows into something deeper, Ophelia's desire for revenge begins to falter, forcing her to question whether she can destroy everything he's ever known. The story combines dark academia with romantic suspense and murder mystery elements. The print edition includes a bonus chapter from Alex's point of view.
