Synopsis

**A Good Morning America YA Book Club Pick**

Three teens infiltrate the magical ivy league in this heart-stopping dark academia romantasy from #1 New York Times bestselling author Melissa de la Cruz.

Raven, Atticus, and Dorian have dreamed of attending Sibylline for as long as they can remember. But when the magical university rejects them, the friends’ plans for a future studying the arcane together begin crashing down.

Until they decide to steal an education.

Getting jobs on campus, they sneak into lectures and swipe forbidden texts, dodging the administration’s watchful eye. In the quiet of night, in the thrill of secrecy, their magic awakens. And so do long-buried attractions that turn their friendship into something more.

But like magic, love can create, and it can destroy. As unrequited feelings and resentment threaten to fracture their bond, the trio discovers an insidious magic that has sunk its claws into Sibylline, killing students and corroding the very bones of the university. Now the three intruders may be the key to saving the institution from wreckage . . . if they don’t wreck one another first.

Goodreads review by Korynne on January 29, 2026

I have many thoughts about this book. First and foremost, this book is marketed as YA and has characters that act like immature teens, but the characters are actually adults (18-years-old) and engage in on-page adult content. It seems like the author wasn’t clear on her audience for this book, and w......more

Quotes

★ “In addition to high-caliber lyrical writing and thought-provoking style, de la Cruz ('Blue Bloods') also provides a vehicle for reflection.

A must-have.” —School Library Journal, starred review

“In her signature lush prose and twisty plotting, De la Cruz's cinematic, emotionally charged duology starter sets realistic romantic tension against a compelling central magical mystery that will have readers eager to find out what happens in book two.” —Booklist

“This duology opener, with its shadowy library, cobblestone streets, and bookshop cafe . . . captures cozy dark academia at its best.” —Kirkus Reviews
