What you need to know before your trail

Isolated in the Scottish Highlands, Sorrowsong University only welcomes students from the most powerful families. Ophelia Winters doesn’t belong, but a rare scholarship grants her the perfect opportunity to investigate her parents’ “accidental” death near the castle grounds.

Things get off to a rocky start when she runs afoul of the mysterious Alex Corbeau-Green – son of her prime suspect. As far as she’s concerned, he is just a younger version of his billionaire father. A monster hiding beneath a beautiful façade.

When an unknown tormentor begins to stalk Ophelia, she realizes she may not be able to survive Sorrowsong on her own. Alex becomes her unexpected ally – and alibi for murder. And as she begins to fall for the soft heart that hides beneath his hard exterior, her hunger for revenge wavers for the first time.

Travel Guide

Scottish Highlands

Now there are not any real locations as such in the novel and the university, Sorrowsong, is also fictional and very remote.

Sorrowsong: 

“Looming above us is Sorrowsong Castle, a century- old fortress embedded into the mountainside. Thick stone walls rise into turrets, proudly holding the riled roof aloft against a charcoal sky.”

Great to try and find out where this might be inspired by!
