Description
#1 New York Times bestselling author Lauren Kate’s Fallen series has sold over 11 million copies around the world—now she returns to the seductive world of angels with a ruthless romantasy, perfect for both Fallen fans and new readers alike.
"Dark, seductive, and original." ―Jennifer L. Armentrout, #1 New York Times bestselling author of From Blood and Ash
When mysterious Rafe de la Cruz rolls into Desdemona’s life to recruit her to the elite film school Acheron, Dez has no reason to trust him—and no other option. A violent attack has just put her brother in the hospital…and Dez is the only suspect. Guilt-ridden and grieving, she finds herself running from the law to chase her longtime dream of making movies, at a school she’s never heard of. Soon, she’s dropped into Acheron’s cutthroat world of seductive intrigue, power on an otherworldly scale, and deadly competition.
Acheron may seem like the ticket to a future Dez has always wanted, but as she delves deeper into the secret work being done there, she finds herself trapped in an existential conflict on a cosmic scale—with more than her heart on the line.
"The perfect leap into angelic debauchery. White Lights is shrouded with mystique and charged with a delicious dark side. My teenaged obsession with Fallen has grown new wings." ―Chloe Gong, New York Times bestselling author of Immortal Longings
"Fast paced and sexy, this is a world you want to see every corner of." ―Elise Kova, New York Times bestselling author of Arcana Academy
"Lauren Kate has created a highly addictive romantasy. White Lights is a must read I devoured in two days." ―Jade Presley, New York Times bestselling author of The Never List
"The perfect book for those of us who were raised on the iconic Fallen series!" ―Cosmopolitan
