Drawn in by Drayton’s lush campus, brilliant students, and her magnetic adviser Dante, Lennon throws herself into mastering her gift, even as it exacts a brutal toll. The deeper she dives, the more she uncovers about Drayton’s unsettling past and the true nature of its ultimate test.
Because here, the real lesson is simple: wield absolute power without falling to corruption.
And Lennon’s not sure she’ll survive the semester.
