Descripción editorial
Three teens infiltrate the magical ivy league in this heart-stopping dark academia romantasy, the first in a young adult duology from #1 New York Times bestselling author Melissa de la Cruz.
Raven, Atticus, and Dorian have dreamed of attending Sibylline for as long as they can remember. But when the magical ivy league rejects them, the friends’ plans of a future together studying the arcane begin crashing down.
Until they decide to steal an education.
Getting jobs on campus, they sneak into lectures and swipe forbidden texts, dodging the administration’s watchful eye. In the quiet of night, in the thrill of secrecy, their magic awakens. And so do long-buried attractions that turn their friendship into something more.
But like magic, love can create, and it can destroy. As unrequited feelings and resentment threaten to fracture their bond, the trio discovers an insidious magic that has sunk its claws into Sibylline, killing students and corroding the very bones of the university. Now the three intruders may be the key to saving the institution from wreckage . . . if they don’t wreck one another first.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Friendships and romances are tested against the backdrop of a magical Ivy League school in this energetic dark academia fantasy by de la Cruz (The Encanto's Daughter). After their applications to Sibylline, a renowned college for the magic arts, are rejected, recent high school graduates Atticus, Dorian, and Raven decide to obtain their educations by getting jobs at the university and sneaking their way into classes. Each of them possesses a special ability—Atticus can psychically sense peoples' emotions and thoughts, Dorian can witness the history of any object he touches, and Raven can speak any language—and as they progress through their clandestine studies, their powers blossom. When an ominous threat to the venerable institution portends bloodshed, the trio must figure out how to use their newfound knowledge to keep the school safe. All the while, they struggle to manage their tempestuous feelings for one another. Disjointed pacing somewhat hampers an adrenaline-pumping opening. Nevertheless, the protagonists' electric banter and shifting relationships act as an emotional anchor as the kinetic plot unfolds throughout a tense and exciting series opener that will have readers clamoring for the next volume. Characters are intersectionally diverse. Ages 14–up.
