About this listen
Bloomsbury presents Twelve Dark Hours by Amber Hamilton read by Christopher Ragland and Sydney Miede

Cinderella gets an evil, vampiric twist in New York Times bestselling author Amber Hamilton's new dark academia romantasy.

What if love were a fate worse than death?

Vesper Fontaine and Lonan Duval have always been rivals.

Competition at Gossemort Academy is cutthroat, and not just for the top of the class--ever since the kingdom went to war against Dark magic, the school has become the place where students become soldiers, trained in the art of Light magic.

But Vesper and Lonan don't just share the top spot--they share a dark secret. And tonight, that secret could get them killed.

The annual Solstice feast should be a time of celebration, especially when the mysterious crown prince arrives and claims Vesper as his bloodmate. But that's not all he's come to do--his arrival triggers the Ridding, one night of three ruthless trials designed to test if a meiga is loyal to the Light. Locked in the school until dawn, Vesper and Lonan must fight off danger at every turn and learn to trust each other if they're going to survive the night. As the clock ticks down and the trials grow darker, Vesper will have to choose between what she knows and what fate offers to survive. But what if her fated mate is a fate worse than death?

Critic Reviews

An empowering tale about fate, free will, and bodily autonomy that illustrates how entitlement and misogynistic systems can make monsters of men.
Enticing worldbuilding and heart-stopping plot twists add darkness and grit to this enemies-to-lovers tale.
Breathes new life into familiar tropes through sharp writing, a rich atmosphere, and magnetic character dynamics. . . . Compelling, dramatic, and equal parts sizzling and sinister.
Weaves elements of "Beauty and the Beast" and "Snow White" to create a sexy, alluring romance about embracing one's own darkness.
Amber Hamilton's scintillating enemies-to-lovers romantasy novel [is] both familiar and deliciously inventive.
