Description
‘Immensely fun and sexy . . . everything I love about dark academia’ – Ali Hazelwood, author of Bride
LOVE. LIES. BETRAYAL. WELCOME BACK TO SORROWSONG UNIVERSITY . . .
Alex Corbeau-Green left his heart behind.
Now his world is burning down, and Ophelia Winters is desperate to prove she didn’t strike the match. When she first joined Sorrowsong University, she wanted nothing more than to destroy Alex and his high-powered family. But that was before she knew him – before she fell for the man behind the reputation.
In the face of an unthinkable betrayal and the disappearance of his father, Alex is forced to return to New York, hoping to forget what he had with Ophelia and to undo the damage done to his family.
In Scotland, Ophelia is left reeling, alone . . . and watched. With a new anonymous tormentor threatening them both, the pair find themselves drawn back to one another. But can they rebuild the love and trust between them? And, even if they can, will it be enough to keep them alive?
From Autumn Woods, Daybreak is the stunning conclusion to the Sunday Times bestseller Nightshade – a dark academia romance brimming with snarky banter, shadowy figures, and sizzling tension.

the perfect ending to ophelia and alex’s story and the yearning was off the charts. i loved everything about this book and it exceeded my expectations
Rebecca O, Book Trade Professional
I fear I will never recover from this book, it got me so emotional! I spent half this book wanting to hug Ophelia and Alex, and the other half giggling & kicking my feet and crying in the corner. It was definitely an emotional journey!
Reading this made me so glad that it is a duology, it worked so well for the story and its flow, and it didn’t feel rushed at all. The plot was full-filling, with cute romance moments & the wanna cry and pull your hair out moments, add a touch of suspense and mystery, it was perfect. You really experience all the emotions. Alex and Ophelia really went through it this book, but the one thing that triumphed everything else was their love for each other, and they really did deserve each other!
This duology was perfect, it made my heart so happy and I am so sad it is over. Easiest 5 stars!⭐️
