Whispers Most Deadly

Brought to you by Penguin.

ATTEND THE BIGGEST MAGICAL TOURNAMENT WITH WHISPERS MOST DEADLY, THE SEQUEL TO THE MAGICALLY MYSTERIOUS WHISPERS MOST FOUL . . .

Welcome back to Dunhollow Academy — a magical university with secrets as deadly as its reputation . . .

After months mastering her newfound magic, Rose Thenlif returns to the dark halls of Dunhollow and to her lover Sylvie, in hopes of soon leaving this rotten place behind them for good.

But this year, danger looms larger than ever as Dunhollow hosts the Ashwood Tournament: a prestigious, once-in-a-decade contest between the empire's top academies. The prize is glory, but the stakes are fatal - only the most elite contestants stand a chance.

No one is surprised when Sylvie is chosen to compete.

But no one expected Rose would be too . . .

Thrust into perilous trials, Rose finds herself caught in a deadly, twisted game of survival. But the tournament isn't the only threat at Dunhollow. Besides a smoulderingly handsome rival contestant seeking to charm both her and Sylvie, an insidious new power is stalking these halls - hunting down contestants and using Rose as its cover.

With few allies and magic that might betray her, can Rose survive the tournament before her loved ones fall victim? Or will their wayward hearts prove the most dangerous competitors of all . . .
