'Saturated with violence, desire, and power. It's a book with blood on its lips, and I loved it completely.' ALIX E. HARROW
'Alexis Henderson is one of the best Gothic writers out there.' HANNAH WHITTEN
'Dark academia stunner infused with Henderson's signature style - it's lush, atmospheric, imaginative and impossible to put down.' RACHEL HARRISON
'A modern-day Anne Rice, Henderson has a gift for creating a world engorged with desire and death.' THE NEW YORK TIMES
Lennon Carter's life is falling apart.
Until she gets a mysterious phone call inviting her to sit the entrance exam for somewhere few have heard of - Drayton College, a school of magic hidden in a secret pocket of Savannah.
Lennon doesn't know it yet, but she is special. She possesses the innate gift of persuasion: the ability to wield her will like a weapon, controlling others, and even matter itself. But this is a devastating power than Lennon must learn how to master.
While persuasion takes a heavy toll on her body and her mind, she is captivated by all that surrounds her - her studies, Drayton's lush campus and, most of all, Dante - the charismatic adviser who both intimidates and enamours her.
But the longer that Lennon spends at Drayton, learning to wield her uncanny abilities, the more she uncovers about Drayton's unsettling history, and Dante's tragic and violent past.
For it seems that the ultimate test is to embrace absolute power without succumbing to corruption and darkness . . . and it's a test she's terrified she is going to fail.

The perfect moody book for fall!!
If you're looking for a dark and moody book to read now that it's darker and colder outside look no further!! This story was mysterious, I loved the setting at the academy and the characters were just unhinged and morally grey to keep me on my toes. A dark academia type book right to my taste!!! -

Great idea but weak world-building!
I was very much looking forward to Alexis Henderson's newest release, especially when I found out that it will be a dark academia story. Sadly, the book didn't land for me. Even though I was truly intrigued by Drayton College and its parallel reality, the whole school and background information fell too flat for me. I would have liked to learn much more about the inner workings of Drayton, its magical tradition and teachings as well as Lennon's innate powers and her rise to it. There were even times when I forgot that Lennon is not a teenager but a fully grown adult because the moral lacking of her behaviour and choices made it really hard for me to identify with her and to take her seriously. I very much enjoyed all of the elements of classical horror, especially during Lennon's and Dante's stay in Amsterdam but once again - more information please. This story had the perfect potential for a heavily atmospheric dark academia tale but somehow could not deliver in its execution.
