THE NEW YORK TIMESLennon Carter’s life is falling apart. Until she gets a mysterious phone call inviting her to sit the entrance exam for somewhere very few have heard of - Drayton College, a school of magic hidden in a secret pocket of Savannah.Lennon has been chosen because - like everyone else at the school - she is special. She possesses the innate gift of persuasion: the ability to wield her will like a weapon and to use it to control others and, in rare cases, matter itself.After passing the gruelling exam, Lennon must now learn how to master this devastating power.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, moss-draped campus, her brilliant classmates and, most of all, by Dante, the charismatic adviser who both intimidates and enamours her.But as Lennon becomes more adept at wielding her uncanny abilities, she uncovers more about the unsettling history of Drayton and Dante’s tragic and violent past, and is increasingly disturbed by what she finds.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.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 240mmItem Length: 156mmItem Width: 40mmItem Weight: 750gAuthor: Alexis HendersonGenre: FictionTopic: Horror, FantasyType: ContemporaryRelease Year: 2024 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
