"Six students at Blackwood Academy, an enigmatic boarding school located at the edge of the afterlife, must compete for the once-in-eternity chance to change their fate--or risk remaining at Blackwood forever"--
Welcome to Blackwood Academy: the legendary school located at the fringes of the afterlife, where students are fated to spend the rest of eternity shepherding lost souls. Once a pupil enters the school's arched gates, there is no way out...except for the Decennial, a once-in-a-decade celebration that rewards nominees who pass its trials with a choice: formally graduate and join Blackwood's magical elite, or venture into the unknown and cross over to the mysterious Other Side. Wren Loughty is certain that this Decennial, she has what it takes to earn the nomination--unless, that is, her academic archrival Augustine Hughes steals her spot. Irene Manette Bamford has never cared about playing by the rules. She's willing to break whatever (and whoever) stands between her and getting the hell out of Blackwood, including her best and only friend, Masika Sallow. Olivier Dupont gave up on securing the nomination ages ago. But after he meets Blackwood's newest student, Emilio Cordova, he'll do anything to keep Emilio from leaving him and crossing over to the Other Side--even if it means claiming the victory for himself. All of them are determined to be Blackwood's chosen candidate--and all of them would do anything to win. But none of them are prepared for what's to come. Because this Decennial will be different. This time, the Decennial isn't a celebration...it's a competition. And there can only be one victor. Six nominees. Four trials. Untold danger. Wren, August, Irene, Masika, Olivier and Emilio are about to learn: there are some fates worse than death
