She swore she’d never return. The Devil had other plans.
In 1984 Romania, Ilena Firan has spent eight years running from the one place that destroyed her—Scholomance, the Devil’s hidden school. Its graduates gain impossible power… and an oath that chains them forever.
Dragged back by a summons she can’t refuse, Ilena expects scorn.
She doesn’t expect him.
Her former lover—now the Devil’s scarred, merciless Vânătorii—hunting oath‑breakers across Europe. The boy she loved is gone, replaced by a weapon with storm‑gray eyes and a hatred that cuts deeper than any blade.
When the Devil announces an ancient dragon is seeking a new rider, the school erupts into ambition, treachery, and blood‑deep temptation. Power whispers. Old wounds burn. And every choice pulls Ilena closer to the darkness she once escaped.
But the Devil’s lies run far deeper than anyone realizes—and time is running out for Ilena to decide whether she’ll reclaim her past, seize forbidden power, or survive the Devil’s design at all.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. It's 1984, and Ilena Firan has spent the last eight years running from an infernal past of heartache, failure, and betrayal.Now, a summons forces her back into the nightmare. Scholomance - the Devil's school hidden beneath a Romanian lake, where graduates are given rare and incredible power but are bound by an oath they can never escape.She expected judgment and disdain from her former classmates. What she doesn't expect to find is her former lover serving as the Devil's Vanatorii-the Devil's enforcer, hunting oath-breakers across Europe. The man she loved has become something harder, deadlier. His caring face, now cold and scarred, and storm-gray eyes filled with hatred.When the Devil announces that one of His own ancient and eldritch dragons seeks a new rider to be bound by, the Scholomance is turned on its head as many are tempted to take this 'honor' and the newfound power it brings for themselves.Caught between her longing for a shared past and the burning hatred of the man she once loved, Illena must also fight the temptation that the Devil has laid out for them all.However, the Devil's lies run deeper than either of them imagined, and time is running out.* * *Set against the paranoia of 1984 Cold War Romania, TRIBUTE blends Romanian folklore with second-chance romance and dark academia atmosphere.Perfect for readers who loved: The dragon bonds of Fourth Wing The atmospheric tension of BabelThis standalone dark romantasy delivers second-chance romance intensity, forbidden magic, and a love story forged in desperation and reclaimed through truth.Heat Level: *** (Spicy with emotional depth)Genre: Dark Romantasy Adult Fantasy Romance This item is printed on demand.
