Feyre Morgan has always been an enigma-even to herself. Brilliant, composed, and unwaveringly logical, she excels at dissecting theories and solving complex equations. But when it comes to feelings? She's never quite understood the need for them. Her friendships are carefully curated, her boundaries impenetrable, and love? That's a concept she's sure isn't meant for her.
Entering her first year at UCL, Feyre finds herself in an unlikely friend group that stirs emotions she's never felt before. And when Loren Ashford, a sharp-witted math prodigy from Oxford, crosses her path once again, their shared history from academic competitions sparks something unexpected. Loren is warm, easygoing, and unafraid to see beneath Feyre's distant exterior. But can she let him-or anyone-get close enough to touch her heart?
As Feyre navigates university life, her friendships deepen, and her resolve to keep her distance weakens. Slowly, Loren begins to break down her barriers, revealing pieces of herself she never thought she'd share. But will Feyre's heart follow a path that logic can't explain?
A story about friendship, vulnerability, and finding love in the most unexpected places.

Aurora forms an immediate attachment to the animal, only to be visited and forcibly befriended by its owner - a brash, strange boy named Adam. When Adam and Aurora are violently taken captive by the shadows of his past, Aurora must learn to trust her new friends - and herself - in order to save them all.
