At the Mercy of Midnight: The must-read rivals to lovers dark academia romantasy

Two rival scholars.

Amelia and Silas have spent years trying to outsmart one another to unlock the secrets of their world’s unstable magic. Until a fateful discovery ties them together.

Bound by fate.

When an archaeological dig goes awry and they awaken an ancient magical force, Amelia and Silas find themselves transported to each other at midnight. Every night.

A race against time.

Desperate to break the bond, their research uncovers dark and dangerous truths about the magic that sustains them. Now, a secret order is hunting them, their intentions unclear. The already volatile mystical forces are collapsing at an alarming rate, unstitching the fabric of the universe around them, and only Amelia and Silas can stop it – or risk losing more than their freedom.

If they fail, midnight may never come again.
