A Rather Vengeful Accord: Exclusive Edition

Published: 18/11/2025

Enrol in this rivals-to-lovers dark academia fantasy featuring necromancers, gladiatorial combat, and eldritch monsters. 

At the elite college of St Penderghast’s, gravers raise the dead and turn corpses into unnatural abominations while spirers battle undead horrors in grand arenas, thrilling crowds with divine spectacle.  

Halen Kilchoir would kill (and resurrect) anything to study graving at St Penderghast’s. But Hal cannot enlist alone: the only way she can secure admission is to enter a dangerous accord with her mortal rival, Alastair Faulton – a handsome, accomplished spirer and the infuriating exiled scion of the great Faulton dynasty. 

As Hal and Alastair fight grisly creatures and ghastly peers side by side, Hal faces the horrors of necromancy and the revolting prospect of a romance with her own nemesis. 

Perfect for fans of Gideon the Ninth and A Deadly Education.
