Immortal Consequences

Blackwood Academy sits on the fringes of the afterlife, a boarding school in purgatory. Students who pass through its arched gates cannot leave, with one exception: the Decennial, a magical competition held every ten years that produces a single victor. Winning is the only way to change a fate.

This year six of the school's top students are chosen to face the tests. Two academic rivals share a strange connection that blurs obsession and hatred. One girl is driven purely by ambition. Another is haunted by memories of a love she lost. A charming playboy, who has never cared for anyone, meets the newest student at the school and begins to.

The six are not the only ones playing. Something else is at work in the game, and the contestants do not know it. The book promises that some fates here are worse than death, though it gives no more detail than that.

This is dark academia fantasy for young adult readers, with a rivalry plot, a competition structure and love stories that cross the line between the living and the dead. The setting is gothic and enchanted, and the mood is menacing. It is the first book in the Souls of Blackwood Academy series.
