Life is a battlefield. Death is just a girl.

'Paranormal lovers rejoice, your new obsession has arrived!' HANNAH WHITTEN

Jocasta has built a normal life at Beecher University - well, as normal it can be when you're the only child of Death.

No one close to her knows the truth about who - or what - she is. Or that she must feed to survive, and she feeds on them - their disappointments, failures, and quiet regrets. It's not a perfect system, but it works . . . for now.

Jo has finally found a place she finally belongs - and she's almost forgotten the one person she should never have wanted. But as a series of strange attacks start to ripple through campus, a mysterious newcomer - a descendant of Lust - arrives with a message that changes everything: Death has chosen Jo as his heir.

Now she's both a powerful ally and a massive threat, and every relationship she's built is now a weakness.

But Beecher University is the one place that has ever felt like home, and Jo will do anything to protect it. Even if the closer she gets to her power, the less she recognises herself . . .
