Six Students At Blackwood Academy, An Enigmatic Boarding School Located At The Edge Of The Afterlife, Must Compete For The Once-in-eternity Chance To Change Their Fate-or Risk Remaining At Blackwood Forever-in This Unputdownable Debut For Fans Of Leigh Bardugo And Olivie Blake. Welcome To Blackwood Academy: The Legendary School Located On The Fringes Of The Afterlife, Where Students Are Fated To Spend Rest Of Their Eternity Shepherding Lost Souls To The Other Side. Once A Pupil Enters Blackwood's Arched Gates, There Is No Way Out...except For The Decennial. A School-wide, Once-in-a-decade Celebration, The Decennial Rewards Nominees Who Pass Its Trials With A Choice: Formally Graduate And Become An Ascended, One Of Blackwood's Magical Elite, Or Venture Into The Unknown And Cross Over To The Mysterious Other Side. Wren Loughty Is Certain That This Decennial, She Has What It Takes To Earn The Nomination-unless, That Is, Her Academic Archrival Augustine Hughes Steals Her Spot. Irene Bamford Has Never Cared About Playing By The Rules. She's Willing To Break Whatever (and Whoever) Stands Between Her And Getting The Hell Out Of Blackwood, Including Her Best And Only Friend, Masika Sallow. Olivier Dupont Gave Up On Securing The Nomination Ages Ago. But After He Meets Blackwood's Newest Student, Emilio Córdova, He'll Do Anything To Keep Emilio From Leaving Him And Crossing Over To The Other Side-even If It Means Claiming The Victory For Himself. All Of Them Are Determined To Be Blackwood's Chosen Candidate--and All Of Them Would Do Anything To Win. But None Of Them Are Prepared For What's To Come. Because This Decennial Will Be Different. This Time, The Decennial Isn't A Celebration...it's A Competition. Six Nominees. Four Trials. Untold Danger. If Wren, August, Irene, Masika, Olivier And Emilio Aren't Careful, They Might Lose Their Eternal Lives-- Provided By Publisher.
