Editorial Reviews

Mysterious and gripping, A SHARPER, MORE LASTING PAIN is a more than worthy successor to the likes of AN EDUCATION IN MALICE. A claustrophobically tense dark academia tale where the unapologetic hunger of sapphic desire takes centre stage

Author - Camilla Andrew

A high-stakes and beautifully detailed novel that we are privileged to have on the shelves of queer dark academia. I could not put this book down! There's so much to learn more about this world, through an intricately weaved dual POV and timeline.
