The compulsive new thriller from multimillion-selling NYT bestselling author Jennifer Niven.
Eight students walk into an exclusive writers' retreat, but only one will walk out with a life-changing
opportunity to realize their creative dreams.
Effy is piecing together a story about the tragic betrayal that led to her mother's death. Arlo hopes to
publish a novel - but he's also trying to start a new chapter with Effy after he broke her heart and ghosted
her three years earlier.
Their mentor is Meredith Graffam, enigmatic writer, director and actress, whose compelling accounts of
her own near-death experience on the same retreat decades before continue to spark controversy.
But this celebrated teacher is not all she seems, and her students gradually realize they are fighting for
something much more primal than academic advantage. As Graffam's unorthodox teaching methods push
them past breaking point, they reveal their darkest secrets, take unthinkable risks and slowly start to turn
on one another. But Graffam never expected they would turn on her...
