Description

Mina has finally earned her place at Harrowhall, an enchanted university where magic is real. But getting in was only the first test. Surviving it will be much harder.

After passing The Test, Mina enters a hidden world of witches, haunted halls, dangerous magic, and an institution seemingly designed to favor the privileged.

She's determined to prove she belongs.

But if Mina wants to become the powerful witch she's always dreamed of being, she'll need help from the one person she'd rather avoid.

Harker St James—the most lethal student to ever walk Harrowhall's halls.

Dangerous, mysterious, and harboring a secret that could change everything, Harker might be Mina's best chance at surviving the university. When she discovers what he's hiding, she finally gains enough leverage to convince him to help her.

Unfortunately, working with Harker creates an entirely different problem.

Mina's magic is fueled by desire. And Harker is becoming increasingly difficult not to want.

Giving in to those feelings could make her extraordinarily powerful—but becoming emotionally entangled with someone as dangerous as Harker could also destroy everything she's worked for.

Then a malevolent force threatens Harrowhall and the magic upon which it was built, forcing Mina to confront powers far greater than she imagined.

To save the school, she may have to embrace the very desires she's been desperately trying to suppress.

Dark, magical, and deliciously seductive, An Education in Longing blends witchcraft, forbidden attraction, deadly secrets, magical battles, and gothic academia into a romance where desire isn't merely dangerous—it's power.
