A curse befalls the magical ivy league in this YA dark academia romantasy, the sequel to Sibylline by #1 New York Times bestselling author Melissa de la Cruz.
After the near collapse of Sibylline—the crown jewel of the magical ivy league—Raven, Atticus, and Dorian return for their second semester as students. They finally have access to the education they’ve wanted all their lives.
But an insidious darkness has wormed itself into the Ivy. It surfaces when a wrathful creature appears on campus, and before long, it devolves into the mysterious disappearance of spellbooks. The spells themselves are vanishing with them, extending far beyond campus and threatening the collapse of the world’s magic system.
Tumult at Sibylline should bring the trio closer together. But Raven pulls away, becoming more and more entangled with a secret society dealing in dangerous arcane arts. With only each other to lean on, Atticus and Dorian must try to restore the world’s magic from inside of Sibylline’s walls—all while fighting to salvage their relationship with the person they love the most.

Raven, Atticus, and Dorian have dreamed of attending Sibylline for as long as they can remember. But when the magical university rejects them, the friends’ plans for a future studying the arcane together begin crashing down.
Until they decide to steal an education.
Getting jobs on campus, they sneak into lectures and swipe forbidden texts, dodging the administration’s watchful eye. In the quiet of night, in the thrill of secrecy, their magic awakens. And so do long-buried attractions that turn their friendship into something more.
But like magic, love can create, and it can destroy. As unrequited feelings and resentment threaten to fracture their bond, the trio discovers an insidious magic that has sunk its claws into Sibylline, killing students and corroding the very bones of the university. Now the three intruders may be the key to saving the institution from wreckage . . . if they don’t wreck one another first.
