“A twisty, deeply satisfying ride.” —Sara Shepard, #1 New
York Times bestselling author of Pretty Little Liars In this dark
academia young adult thriller for fans of The Female of the Species
and People Like Us, a teen girl’s search for answers about her
mother’s mysterious death leads to a powerful secret society at
her new boarding school—and a dangerous game of revenge that will
leave her forever changed. Six years ago, Calliope Bolan’s mother
drove the family van into a lake with her three daughters inside.
The girls escaped, but their mother drowned, and the truth behind
the “accident” remains a mystery Calliope is determined to
solve. Now sixteen, she transfers to Tipton Academy, the same elite
boarding school her mother once attended. Tipton promises a peek
into the past and a host of new opportunities—including a coveted
invitation to join Haunt and Rail, an exclusive secret society that
looms over campus like a legend. Calliope accepts, stepping into
the exhilarating world of the “ghosts,” a society of
revolutionaries fighting for social justice. But when Haunt and
Rail commits to exposing a dangerous person on campus, it becomes
clear that some ghosts define justice differently than others. As
the society’s tactics escalate, Calliope uncovers a possible link
between Haunt and Rail and her mother’s deadly crash. Now, she
must question what lengths the society might go to in order to see
a victory—and if the secret behind her mother’s death could be
buried here at Tipton.
