In the first novel of a dark academia romantasy duology, a young Egyptologist gets accepted into a prestigious Edinburgh university—only to discover it’s full of vampires. Will an undead love triangle distract her from unraveling her past?
When Flora Snow, a brilliant young Egyptologist, is offered a fellowship at Edinburgh’s secretive Cawdor College, she’s equally thrilled and bewildered. Flora knows of only one other person in her field to have been accepted at the prestigious university: her mother, a legendary archaeologist who vanished from a dig in Egypt twenty years ago.
Convinced that her mother’s research at Cawdor was connected to her disappearance, Flora jumps at the opportunity to attend. Yet when she arrives at the college, nothing is at seems. Students begin their research at night. She’s the only person who visits the dining hall. And the ancient treasures held in Cawdor’s legendary library are beyond her wildest imaginings—priceless artifacts so old, they couldn’t possibly be real. Soon she learns this place harbors a sinister secret, one she might not survive: Flora is the only human in a college full of vampires.
And when she is unwittingly drawn into a romantic and intellectual rivalry between two senior fellows—an undead Regency gentleman with a ruthless streak and his nemesis, a Colombian with a quick tongue and even quicker smile—Flora must untangle her complicated feelings while racing towards the answers she’s been searching for her whole life. But with her humanity, and her life, on the line, how far is she willing to go in pursuit of the truth?
