An Education in Malice

Description

In the forgotten hills of Massachusetts, Saint Perpetua’s College welcomes its students with velvet rules and older-than-time rituals—where ambition is currency, secrets are currency’s twin, and desire can be as dangerous as any blade. On her first day, Laura Sheridan is pulled into a razor-edged rivalry with the beautiful, enigmatic Carmilla, only to find their competition entangled with the demands of a charismatic poetry professor whose own obsessions run deep. As their rivalry sharpens into something far more intimate and perilous, Laura is forced to reckon with the hungers she’s been taught to hide. Blending dark academia atmosphere with gothic intrigue, forbidden scholarship, and hints of magic, this novel explores power, identity, and what it truly costs to pursue knowledge when the institution itself is hungry.
