Details:
At Rackham College in Maine—a place famed for its harsh winters, storied library, and ivy-clad halls—Arthur Oakes should have been living a dream. A devoted reader and romantic, he is falling for Gwen Underfoot when everything shatters. Forced by a ruthless drug dealer into stealing rare volumes from the college library, Arthur finds himself cornered in a crime he cannot stomach.
His salvation, he believes, lies with his closest friends. Colin Wren, wealthy and daring, urges them to use the infamous Crane journal—its pages bound in human skin—to summon something otherworldly. Alison Shiner, striking and fearless; the quarrelsome twins, Donna and Donovan McBride; and clever, determined Gwen all agree to take the leap. Together, they attempt to bend reality itself and call forth a dragon.
But bargains with monsters never come cheap. What began as an act of desperate friendship twists into a chilling pact with King Sorrow, a creature who demands blood. Now the six must face a horrifying truth: every year they must offer him another human life—or one of them will be next.
“A brilliantly Faustian fable with a heart as huge as a dragon’s, and a stinging twist in its tail. I devoured it.” —Ruth Ware, New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in Suite 11
