Sorrow & Strangers: Special Limited Edition by Jeanette Rose & Alexis Rune (Paperback)

A Special Limited Edition with sprayed edges, available only in the first printing — the second book in the nationally bestselling Avalon University dark academia series.

Summer Tuatha De Daanan returns to Avalon reluctantly for her second year, after a summer spent with her vampire best friend in Draculea. She’s a shell of her former self, and the peace she was promised has never felt further away. All she wants is to keep her head down and get through the year — but looming threats won’t let her, and she soon finds herself thrust into danger once more, entangled with a friend turned enemy, the protector of her beloved family, and the target of two very powerful kings.

Unwilling to suffer any further loss, Summer must push through her grief to ready herself for the enemies closing in on everything she holds dear. Through runic training with the revered, brooding Headmaster Emrys, combat with the aloof and strong-willed Max, and shoring up her mental walls with a dark and mysterious stranger, each hard-won step pulls her a little further from the edge of despair. But nothing is ever simple for Summer, and the more she trains, the more she learns about who she truly is — and the darkness within her that stirs for her enigmatic stalker, waiting to be explored and refusing to be denied.
