"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.
