Whispers Most Deadly

Rose would have left the dark halls of Dunhollow Academy forever – but she cannot leave Sylvie, her heart and soul, behind in the Academy’s rotten core. And after months honing her newfound magic, Rose is stronger now – ready for whatever the elites of Dunhollow can throw at her. Or so she thinks.
She hasn’t bargained on the academy hosting The Ashwood Tournament, a prestigious, once-in-a-decade contest against rival magical academies. The prize is glory, but the stakes are deadly - only the most elite contestants stand a chance.
No one is surprised when Sylvie is among the chosen.
But then Rose’s name is selected too…
Fans of dark academia will love Whispers Most Foul, an evocative fantasy imbued with mystery, ghosts, and an enemies-to-lovers sapphic romance. In compelling prose, its suspenseful gothic atmosphere is interwoven with magic to create the perfect spooky season read
