Power is easy to teach. Controlling it is another matter entirely.
Doctor Walden is the Director of Magic at Chetwood School, where six hundred students study within wards that keep the demons out. Brilliant, composed, and fiercely dedicated, Walden holds the line between order and chaos. Her days are filled with lessons, meetings, and the delicate art of keeping the dark at bay.
But something inside the school is stirring. As her gifted, unruly sixth formers grow stronger, so does the entity that watches from the shadows. Walden knows the danger better than anyone. The question is whether the threat comes from beyond the walls—or from within her own soul.
The Incandescent is a lush, sapphic dark academia fantasy from Hugo and World Fantasy Award winner Emily Tesh.
