Twelve Dark Hours

New York Times bestselling author Amber Hamilton returns with a new standalone dark academia romantasy set in the world of her blockbuster debut, Seven Deadly Thorns.



What if love were a fate worse than death?



Vesper Fontaine and Lonan Duval have always been rivals. Competition for top student at Gossemort Academy, school of magic, is cutthroat and they both wield dangerous secrets.



Tonight, those secrets could get them killed.



The annual Solstice feast should be a time to celebrate. The student meigas are finally ready to defend their kingdom of Light magic in the war against Dark magic. Fate has other plans, however. Everything goes awry with the appearance of the mysterious crown prince, who looks suspiciously similar to Lonan. His presence triggers a chain of events that turns the celebration into a nightmare.



Now trapped in the school until dawn, the students of Gossemort must survive series of ruthless trials. Vesper and Lonan fight off danger at every turn, but what happens when your fated mate is a fate worse than death? As the clock ticks down, the trials grow darker, and hope wanes. To make it through the night, Vesper and Lonan may have to put their trust in their worst enemy.
