CHARACTERS BELONG TO HOLLY BLACK Jude Duarte has brought her high school band, Nightfell, back together after years of being broken up just for this year's Fall/Winter Music Festival. This year's prize is nothing other than a record deal, and Jude is determined to win it. She is determined to prove her father wrong, determined to keep her band together for the long road this time. But of course, it isn't so simple. Not when most of the competition is based on public votes, and when the most popular band in the city is none other than Court of Shadows, led by Cardan Greenbriar. Both bands rival against each other in this competition to win this record deal, this opportunity to begin their careers as musicians. BASICALLY, Jude and Cardan are in sexy bands singing songs to each other and having a bunch of tension and being rivals and pining idiots. hehe.

His hand goes up to my cheek, looking at me with eyes so dark my head gets dizzy. When the screams start, I accept sleep. Eyelids fluttering close, feeling the sting of my injury worsening. My body goes slack in Cardan's arms. His voice echoes in my head. Everything disappears, yet I still hear Cardan's call for help. Soon, that fades too.
