From bestselling author Anya Mora, a deliciously dark, twisty and utterly gripping new novel about the dangers of obsession.

 

We were sent to Glennmare Academy. An elite boarding school on a windswept island off the coast of Seattle where the unruly daughters of affluent East Coast families are exiled.

 

Kitty, Bernie, Coretta, Diane, Jolie. We're more like sisters than roommates. Even if Kitty is gone.

 

At Glennmare, each bed is filled with a teenage girl who wears ribbons in her hair, a nod to innocence we lost long ago. When we were sent out into the world, away from home, to fend to for ourselves.

 

If we start telling the truth about what happened that night we might just break down. What could we say about our twenty-five-year-old teacher who quotes obscure poetry and works in the stables, but who understands each of us so perfectly?

 

We are teenage girls with the belief in a power other people don't understand. The power of hands held tight and secrets whispered in the dead of night.

 

But why isn't she back yet? Kitty should be back by now, shouldn't she?

 

Perfect for fans of The Secret History and books by Monica Murphy, Keri Lake, Vera Kurian and Roxy Sloane.
