Summary: USA Today and International Bestselling Duology
“Immensely fun and sexy . . . everything I love about dark academia and new adult!”
—#1 New York Times bestselling author Ali Hazelwood
Maxton Hall meets RuNyx in the stunning conclusion to the Nightshade duology, a dark academia romance brimming with snarky banter and sizzling tension, in which Alex and Ophelia must fight through betrayal, heartbreak, and deadly new threats.
Alex’s Corbeau-Green’s world is burning down around him, and Ophelia Winters is desperate to prove she didn’t light the fire.
When Ophelia first accepted a scholarship from Sorrowsong, an elite university in the Scottish Highlands, she wanted nothing more than to destroy Alex and his family at any cost. But that was before she knew him, before they became each other’s everything. Now, after an unthinkable betrayal and the disappearance of his father, Alex is forced to return to New York, desperate to forget what they had, and salvage the damage done to his family. In Scotland, Ophelia is left reeling, alone . . . and watched.
With a new anonymous tormentor threatening to release evidence that Ophelia and Alex committed a murder on campus, it’s clear that they’re going to need each other once again. But can they find a way to trust each other, and repair the love that they had? And even if they can—will it be enough this time to keep them alive?

“The Sorrowsong University duet is truly in a league of its own! Daybreak is the breathtaking finale readers have been waiting for. From the deep, raw emotions and angsty romance to the found family and twists I didn’t see coming, my heart was aching in the very best way. I’m an Autumn Woods (and Ophelia and Alex) fangirl for life!” —Jillian Meadows, USA Today bestselling author of Give Me Butterflies

“Daybreak is an emotional, angsty follow-up about two people who feel destined for each other, even as everything seems set against them. It explores grief and depression with tenderness and depth, with so much longing woven through every page. Heartfelt, haunting, and hard to forget. I devoured it in a day!” —Ki Stephens, author of Spring Tide
“Ever since Autumn Woods released Nightshade, the first book in the Sorrowsong University series, we’ve been waiting to see what was going to happen next to Alex and Ophelia, especially after that wild cliffhanger. And now the wait is almost over as the second book of the series is almost ready to be released with all its secrets and turns that made us obsessed with this dark academia romance. With a new semester buzzing, we’re ready to see what will happen next as they are now torn apart.” — Cosmopolitan
