Ellory Morgan is a 21-year-old freshman beginning her first semester at the prestigious Warren University. She dreams of going into journalism, but the high expectations of her parents back home in Jamaica have pushed her toward a law degree. After growing up between Jamaica and Queens, working twice as hard for half the recognition, Ellory has finally caught a break: a full scholarship to Warren β America’s youngest Ivy League, prestigious, and more than a little creepy. In her constitutional law class she meets Hudson Graves, a descendant of one of the university’s founders, who is as sarcastic as he is wealthy. Strange things begin happening: memories of events that didn’t happen, conversations with people that don’t exist, objects stopping in mid-air. Convinced that the occult rumors surrounding Warren’s founding are more than rumor, Ellory begins pulling at a very dangerous thread.
