When Claudia is rejected from uni, a devilish stranger named Dorian appears in her nightmares offering a bargain: he will get her into Cygnus if she learns how to free him from a prison of stars. With a bite of her soul to seal the deal, Claudia is enrolled, taking the place of Odette, a student who died. Her arrival sparks suspicion and Cassius - her infuriating academic rival - spreads the rumour that Claudia had a hand in Odette's death. Hell bent on clearing her name, Claudia makes a discovery that puts her in direct danger. The only way to protect herself: free Dorian. By night, she studies the stars, slowly unravelling the mystery of Dorian's prison. By day, she and Cassius wage rhetorical war as debate partners in class. What begins as a fierce rivalry devolves into something deeper, darker, and dangerously sensual. But Cassius may not be who he says he is, and Claudia must decide if trusting him will be the last mistake she ever makes?
