Give us your top three dark academia books. 📜
🥀
Dark Academia has its talons in our hearts. We have an irresistible urge to plunge ourselves into candlelit libraries, stone corridors, and rooms heavy with the scent of old paper and secrets long since buried. Give us ambitious characters teetering on the edge of ruin, scholars desperate for a taste of glory and friendships laced with rivalry. Nothing comes close! 💫
🕯️
If you’re eager for a story that will leave an ink print on your soul, then you need to add Katabasis by R. F. Kuang to your TBR. This is a story steeped in complexity. It took us on a rollercoaster ride of paradoxes, an intricate magic system, and morally grey characters. If you’ve not picked up this stunning book yet, this is your sign! ✒️
🖤
This was our August 2025 ‘See You In Hell’ Adult Featured Book and it has an exclusive redesigned cover with a colourway change and exclusive elements, a reversible dust jacket featuring character artwork by polarts_, full colour artwork on the hardcover with foil by alicecaoillustration, character art on the endpapers with foil by polarts_ (different front and back), a digitally sprayed edge by aeadraws with solid sprayed top and bottom edges, bonus content, and it has an author letter with a digital signature bound into the book. ⚔️
