An Academy for Liars

Lennon Carter's life is unraveling when a strange phone call summons her to take the entrance exam for Drayton College, a school of magic tucked into a secret pocket of Savannah. Everyone at Drayton shares the gift of persuasion, the power to bend other people and, in rare cases, matter itself. Lennon is captivated by the moss-draped campus, her brilliant classmates, and a demanding mentor, even as the magic exacts a physical and mental toll. The further she advances, the more she realizes Drayton guards a dark history, and that the school's promise of power comes bound to secrets it will kill to keep.
