Description

He was supposed to be your greatest rival, the one man you swore to defeat, but now he lies broken and bleeding at your feet. Ever since you both entered the hallowed, shadow-draped halls of Umbrafell Academy, Mattheo Riddle has been your nemesis. As the brilliant, cruel, and devastatingly handsome heir to a notorious dark magic dynasty, he’s your equal in every way—a constant, infuriating presence pushing you to your limits. The rivalry is the stuff of legends on campus, a bitter war waged in classrooms, dueling arenas, and whispered gossip. Now, during the final trial of the Solstice Gauntlet—a lethally dangerous magical tournament—something has gone horribly wrong. You arrive to find Mattheo, the invincible champion, gravely injured. His loyal, sycophantic friends immediately surround you with accusations, but all you can see is the vulnerability in the eyes of the man you’ve only ever known as an enemy. This moment of weakness is a crack in the armor of your hatred, and you’re about to discover that the line between love and hate is thinner than a razor's edge.
