Deathbringer (Hardback) preorder

Deathbringer by Sonia Tagliareni is a dark academia romantasy filled with deadly magic, dangerous secrets, and a bond that was never supposed to exist.

Viola has spent her entire life fearing her magic. Born with the ability to speak to the dead, she knows exactly how dangerous it is, especially after it played a part in her sister Olivia’s death. Now the same magic is slowly killing her too, and the only chance she has at answers lies inside the walls of Gorhail Institute of Magic, the last place her sister was seen alive.

At Gorhail, Viola collides with Sylas, an immortal poison mage bound to three magical snakes and a past he can’t escape. Reckless, sharp-edged, and carrying a deep hatred for death mages, Sylas wants nothing to do with her. But when an attack forces him to save Viola’s life, the two become bound together by dangerous magic neither of them can control.

As students begin turning up dead across the academy, Viola and Sylas are dragged into a deadly investigation winding through Gorhail’s hidden passageways and buried secrets. The closer they get to the truth, the harder it becomes to ignore the attraction building between them, or the fact that someone is hunting mages for their magical relics.

And Viola may be next.
