Boy meets magic. Boy meets death.

virtues are for fools, darling.

Sadie Cairn doesn't belong at the Dearden Institute. She wanted to go to MIT. Or Stanford. Or any place where she doesn't have to perform blood sacrifices to pass her exams. Her sister Petra didn't give her a choice. Nobody could have known what Petra planned. If they had, both sisters would have been dead the moment they stepped foot on campus. THE MAGICIANS meets THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE ☽ ☾ Gory witchcraft, ghosts, conspiracies, undead forest creatures, and a subtle whiff of dark academia; all wrapped up in a magic college near a small town in the boondocks. Bonus: there's a haunted house in the woods.

❝ A GIRL WHO NEVER SLEEPS IS NEVER HUMAN ENOUGH. ❞ in which a girl turns into a monster.
