Sorrow & Strangers

The second book in the nationally bestselling Avalon University dark academia series, following Summer Tuatha De Daanan as she recovers from the devastating year before, but as her magical, combat, and mental training pushes her to confront the darkness in her soul, that same darkness pulls her towards the shadows of her mysterious stalker.

Fear. Fury. And Fire. To Know is Never Enough. Summer Tuatha De Daanan reluctantly returns to Avalon University for her second year after spending the summer with her vampire best friend in Draculea. She’s a shell of her former self, and the peace promised to her has never felt further from her reach. All Summer wants is to keep her head down and get through the year cloaked in her depression, but looming threats linger, and she quickly finds herself thrust into a dangerous position once again; entangled with a friend turned enemy, the protector of her beloved family, and the target of two very powerful kings. Unwilling to suffer any further loss, Summer must push through her emotions to prepare herself for the enemies who threaten everything she holds dear. Through runic training with the revered and brooding Headmaster Emrys, combat with the aloof and strong-willed Max, and improving her mental walls with the dark and mysterious stranger, each step pulls her further from the edge of despair. Yet, nothing will be simple for Summer, and the more she trains, the more she discovers who she truly is, forcing her to confront her inner darkness. The beast within that purrs for her enigmatic stalker. A darkness that is waiting to be explored. A darkness that will not be denied.
