SIX RIVALS. ONE VICTOR. ETERNITY IS ONLY THE BEGINNING.
“A twisty and thrilling dark academia fantasy that will have you enthralled from the very first page.” —Ava Reid, #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Study in Drowning
Six students compete to change their fate at a darkly enchanted boarding school in purgatory where graduation is the only escape—and love can cross the boundaries between life and death.
Welcome to Blackwood Academy: the legendary school located on the fringes of the afterlife. Once a pupil enters the academy’s arched gates, there is no way out…except the Decennial, a cut-throat magical competition with only one victor.
This year, six of the Academy’s top students have been chosen to face the Decennial’s tests. Two academic archrivals, whose strange connection blurs the lines between obsession and hate. One girl driven solely by ambition, and another plagued by memories of the love she lost. And a charming playboy who never cared for anyone—until he met the academy’s newest student. But what none of them know? They aren’t the only ones playing Blackwood’s game.
Who will win, and who will fall? Only one thing is for certain: in this game, some fates are worse than death.

Amazing
"This book was pretty and interesting. I found the plot original and the characters diverse. The six person pov was fun to read. I do wish that there was a bit more backstory to each character and how they died but overall very good."
