Book description
From the moment Viola steps into the shadowed corridors of Gorhail Institute of Magic, you know you're in for something special. Sonia Tagliareni has crafted an audiobook that grabs you by the throat and doesn't let go, weaving necromancy and poison magic into a tapestry of murder and forbidden attraction.
Viola's gift for speaking with the dead isn't a blessing-it's a curse that already claimed her sister's life. Every conversation with the departed comes at a price, and she's desperate to understand why her magic is killing her. Sylas, brooding and dangerous, carries his own brand of torment. Bound to three immortal snakes and haunted by his father's death, he wants nothing to do with death mages like Viola. The tension between them crackles from their first encounter.
But when an attack forces Sylas to heal Viola, their magical bond becomes impossible to ignore. Suddenly, these two people who despise each other are tethered together, stumbling through a murder mystery that grows more sinister with each victim. The institute's stone walls seem to pulse with secrets, and the dead whisper warnings that neither can afford to ignore.
Tagliareni's world-building is immersive without being overwhelming. You'll find yourself holding your breath during scenes set in Gorhail's treacherous passages, wondering which shadows might conceal the killer stalking magical students for their relics. The romance develops naturally amid the chaos, never overshadowing the central mystery but adding emotional weight to every revelation.
This isn't just another fantasy romance-it's a story about facing the darkness within yourself while fighting to protect the people you're learning to love. Perfect for fans of dark academia and twisty murder mysteries, Deathbringer delivers on every front.
