Elle Magazine Best Fantasy and Science-Fiction Book of 2025 Indie Next List Pick for January 2026 LibraryReads pick for December 2025 A modern-day dark academia fantasy with a twist, praised by the The New York Times and perfect for fans of Babel and A Deadly Education. Warren University has stood amongst the ivy elite for centuries, built on the bones-and forbidden magic-of its most prized BIPOC students...hiding the rot of a secret society that will do anything to keep their own powers burning bright. No matter who they must sacrifice along the way. Ellory Morgan is determined to prove that she belongs at Warren University, an ivy league school whose history is deeply linked to occult rumors and dark secrets. But as she settles into her Freshman year, something about the ornate buildings and shadowy paths feels strangely...familiar. And, with every passing day, that sense of déjà vu grows increasingly sinister. Despite all logic, despite all reason, despite all the rules of reality, Ellory knows one thing to be true: she has been here before. And if she can't convince brooding legacy student Hudson Graves to help her remember a past that seems determined to slip through her fingers as if by some insidious magic...this time, she may lose herself for good. "Draws readers into its spell before asking readers to consider who pays the true price of power-and what it means to refuse to let the powerful win." - Laura R. Samotin, author of The Sins on Their Bones
