A film-school dream with otherworldly stakes

After a violent attack leaves her brother hospitalized and Dez the only suspect, an invitation to the unfamiliar Acheron film school offers an escape—and a chance to pursue her ambition of making movies. But Acheron’s competitive world brings seductive intrigue and power beyond the ordinary, while the school’s secret work draws Dez into a conflict on a cosmic scale. Lauren Kate combines a romance-fantasy setting involving angels with a film-school premise, placing Dez’s personal hopes alongside questions of trust, guilt, and survival. The story’s central tension grows from the gap between the future Dez wants and the dangerous circumstances surrounding her.

Book overview

#1 New York Times bestselling author Lauren Kate's Fallen series has sold over 11 million copies around the world--now she returns to the seductive world of angels with a ruthless romantasy, perfect for both Fallen fans and new readers alike.

"Dark, seductive, and original." ―Jennifer L. Armentrout, #1 New York Times bestselling author of From Blood and Ash


When mysterious Rafe de la Cruz rolls into Desdemona's life to recruit her to the elite film school Acheron, Dez has no reason to trust him--and no other option. A violent attack has just put her brother in the hospital...and Dez is the only suspect. Guilt-ridden and grieving, she finds herself running from the law to chase her longtime dream of making movies, at a school she's never heard of. Soon, she's dropped into Acheron's cutthroat world of seductive intrigue, power on an otherworldly scale, and deadly competition.

Acheron may seem like the ticket to a future Dez has always wanted, but as she delves deeper into the secret work being done there, she finds herself trapped in an existential conflict on a cosmic scale--with more than her heart on the line.
