Page Whittaker has always been an outcast. She’s too smart, too quiet, too weird. And then there’s the terrible thing that happened at her old school with Cassidy. When a mysterious scholarship offer to gloomy Scottish boarding school Agathion College – a haven for gifted, troubled, privileged teens – comes in her mail, she jumps at the chance to accept. And as soon as she arrives, Page discovers that she loves Agathion – the old fashioned uniforms, dusty books, steaming cups of black tea, and rigorous intellectual debate (bonus points if it’s conducted in ancient Greek or Latin). At long last, she has found her people. But everyone is keeping secrets, and Page quickly realizes that at Agathion, nothing is as it seems. The crumbling castle has dark roots – roots that stretch beneath its crooked foundation, deep into the desolate moor. Roots that remember a time when demons terrorized the innocent and gods walked the earth. Agathion claims to teach its students history – but some histories should stay buried.
