Description
Court of the Undying Seasons is a deliciously dark romantic novel and a pitch perfect modern take on classic vampire tropes.
'Brutal romance, vicious stakes, and a twisty mystery.' - Hannah Whitten
In becoming a vampire, I'm less than a girl. And more.
Or maybe I'm becoming what I always have been, deep inside.
A blade.
When Fin takes her secret love's place in the village's Finding, she's whisked away to Castle Courtsheart, a notorious vampire school, where human students either become powerful vampires or spend the rest of their lives as lowly human thralls... if they survive long enough, that is.
But Fin has no intention of becoming a vampire. Instead, she's determined to learn how to kill vampires and avenge her mother, who was taken by the vampires years ago. But Courtsheart is as captivating as it is deadly, and Fin is quickly swept up in her new world and its inhabitants - particularly Gavron, her handsome and hostile vampire maker, whose blood is nothing short of intoxicating.
As she uncovers a string of murders, Fin discovers a deadly ritual that threatens both vampires and humans. She must find the killer before she loses her life or betrays her heart. Get ready for a thrilling journey into a world of vampires, power, and danger!
'A wildly imaginative world, a delightful cast of characters, and prose that expertly threads the needle between creepy and camp, this is a book to be devoured'
Allison Saft, New York Times bestselling author of A Far Wilder Magic
'Enthralling, bloodthirsty and unapologetically queer'
Laura Pohl, author of The Grimrose Girls and The Wicked Remain
'A dizzyingly dark reminder that it's family that makes us human - even if you choose the family yourself, even if you're no longer human at all'
Andrew Joseph White, author of Hell Followed with Us
