When Sonny Ellery arrives at Ravenshurst University under her cousin, Poppy’s name, she’s out of options. But Ravenshurst is more than an elite school; it’s a haven for the gifted, ruled by the secretive Midnight Syndicate. Sonny wants a fresh start, but her family’s dark legacy refuses to let her go. Uncovering journals left by her ancestors, Sonny finds hints of betrayal and a curse binding her bloodline to Ravenshurst’s secrets. Her growing attraction to her ruthless professor, Dr. Raze Whitlock, only pulls her deeper into danger. Raze is determined to break her, yet something between them ignites beyond their control. As their spark deepens into something forbidden, Sonny is drawn into a web of lies, legacy, and deadly power. To uncover the truth, she’ll have to risk everything, including her heart. Now caught between a sinister past and a perilous present, Sonny must decide how far she’ll go to uncover the truth and protect her future. Because at Ravenshurst, loyalty is a trap, love is a weapon, and legacy is a curse. Welcome to Ravenshurst University. Where the past is a shadow, the legacy a curse, and only the bold survive.

Trapped in a cell beneath the halls of the very institution she once called home, Sonny knows one thing: trust is a luxury she can’t afford. Betrayed, imprisoned, and surrounded by enemies, she and her friends must rely on their waning wits to escape before they all become victims of the Midnight Syndicate. But escaping is only the start. Beyond these walls lies a tangled web of half-truths and a destiny she never asked for. The Midnight Syndicate fears her for a reason. As she uncovers the truth about her bloodline, she realizes power isn’t just something to wield—it’s something to claim. With war looming and long-hidden secrets coming to light, Sonny will have to heal from the betrayal of her heart and make allies with the people she swore she'd never trust again—including Dr. Raze Whitlock, a man shrouded in mystery. Sonny will have to decide what matters more: the power in her veins or the fire in her heart. Because in a world built on lies, love is the most dangerous weakness of all. In this spellbinding conclusion to the Ravenshurst University Duet, a rebellion will rise, destinies will be rewritten, and love that's been tested beyond measure will either burn or bloom.
