A rich portrait of post-Victorian England, The Deepest Night seamlessly blends thrilling romance with riveting history and adventureโperfect for fans of Libba Bray and Lauren Kate.
Itโs 1915, and sixteen-year-old Lora Jones is finishing up her first year as a charity student at Iverson, a prestigious, gothic boarding school on Englandโs southern coast. While sheโs always felt different from everyone around her, now she finally knows why: She is a drรกkon, a rare, enchanted being with astonishing magical abilities.
As war hits Britainโs shores, and Lora reels from an unimaginable loss, she finds that her powers come with grave and dangerous responsibilities. At the request of Armand Louis, the darkly mysterious boy whose father owns Iverson, Lora will spend her summer at his lavish estate. To help the war effortโand to keep Lora nearโArmand turns his home into a military hospital, where Lora will serve as a nurse. For Armand is inescapably drawn to herโbound to her by heart-deep secrets and a supernatural connection that runs thicker than blood.
Yet while Lora tries to sort out her own feelings toward Armand, fate offers an unexpected surprise. Lora discovers there is another drรกkon, a prisoner of war being held in Germany. And that only she, with her newly honed Gifts, will be able to rescue him.
With Armand at her side, Lora will cross enemy lines on an incredible missionโone that could bond her to Armand forever, or irrevocably tear them apart.
Beautifully written, deeply romantic, and filled with daring adventure and magic, The Deepest Night is a mesmerizing novel of the enduring pull of destiny, and the eternal strength of love.
