Drowning in Flames

For fans of A Lesson In Vengeance and The Inheritance Games comes a new YA mystery set at a boarding school in Upstate New York where some secrets are better kept buried and obsession is a deadly thing.

Seventeen-year-old Emmaline Berry begins her senior year at her late mother's alma mater, Hawthorne Academy for Girls, eager for a fresh start. However, she soon realizes that fitting in amongst her wealthy, privileged peers may be more challenging than she hoped. To make matters worse, when a student is poisoned, she becomes the prime suspect.

With the threat of losing her scholarship, she promises to find the real culprit to prove her innocence. She teams up with quick-witted outcast Blair to shut down the elite secret society plaguing the academy and Emmaline's reputation.

As they dive deeper into the academy's dark history, Emmaline begins to unravel her mother's hidden connection to the school's founder, forcing her to question not only her place at Hawthorne but the very truth of her identity.

But Emmaline isn't the only one digging-someone else is desperate to keep the past hidden and will kill to make sure of it.
