Lesson in Curses An ancient and unholy university. A brilliant tutor with a dark past. A grad student determined to end a curse. Laura has come to study curse-breaking at Oxford’s Cornix College with one goal: to stop dark magic from pursuing anyone who cares for her. Solitary, talented countermancer Cillian is simply filling in for a missing lecturer – or so it seems. His true purpose at Cornix is the investigation of a disturbing pattern of deaths and disappearances. And he’s noticed the grad student who avoids music – and attracts tragedy. In the competitive Faculty of Arcane Sciences, darkness and fascination twist around Cillian and Laura like a forest of thorns. They soon find themselves locked in a mutual battle to resist temptation and maintain secrecy. Who will hold out the longest, especially when succumbing tastes so sweet? *Content warning: this book contains forbidden romance (student/tutor), morally gray themes and fantasy violence, death and medical procedures.
