Synopsis
‘Immensely fun and sexy . . . everything I love about dark academia’ – Ali Hazelwood, author of Bride
Betrayal. Heartbreak. Deadly New Threats. Welcome Back to Sorrowsong University . . .
Alex Corbeau-Green’s world is burning. Ophelia Winters is desperate to prove she didn’t start the fire . . .
Ophelia came to the elite Sorrowsong University to destroy Alex and his family. But that was before she knew him. Before their love became each of their reasons for living.
Now, after an unthinkable betrayal and the disappearance of his father, Alex is forced back to New York. He is desperate to forget what they had – and salvage his empire. Ophelia is left behind in the Scottish Highlands, reeling, alone . . . and watched.
When a new, anonymous tormentor threatens to reveal evidence that Ophelia and Alex committed a murder on campus, it’s clear they’re going to need each other once again. But can they find a way to trust each other and repair the love they had?
And even if they can – will it be enough this time to keep them alive?
From Autumn Woods, Daybreak is the stunning conclusion to the Sunday Times bestseller Nightshade now – a dark academia romance brimming with snarky banter, shadowy figures, and sizzling tension.

Immensely fun and sexy - this book combines everything I love about dark academia and new adult! Autumn Woods wrote a winner!
Daybreak is an emotional, angsty follow-up about two people who feel destined for each other, even as everything seems set against them. It explores grief and depression with tenderness and depth, with so much longing woven through every page. Heartfelt, haunting, and hard to forget. I devoured it in a day!
