Description
At the prestigious Blackwell Academy, the past isn't just studied-it's relived. Hidden within the school's ancient halls is The Archive, a secret literary society devoted to reenacting the greatest love stories in history. The price of admission? You don't get to choose your role. The story chooses you. When eighteen-year-old Eleanor Moreau is invited into the society, she thinks it's an honor. But the deeper she falls into their world of candlelit rituals, forbidden sonnets, and eerie coincidences, the more she realizes she's not just playing a part-she's trapped in it. Because every great love story has an ending. And the Archive only tells tragic ones. Paired with the new student Raphael Drake, a boy with a past as ghostly as the stories they reenact, Eleanor begins to see the lines between fiction and reality blur. The Archive insists that fate is inevitable, but Raphael whispers that it isn't. That she can rewrite her ending-if she's willing to break the rules. But the more Eleanor resists the script, the more the world seems to unravel around her. A name written in her own handwriting that she doesn't remember writing. A love letter from a century ago signed with her initials. A whisper in the dark: You were never meant to survive this story. The past wants its ending. And it will do anything to make sure history repeats itself.
