An Academy for Liars

"Dark academia is still going strong in 2024. This take on the trend introduces us to Lennon, a young woman given a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to learn how to do magic at a secret school. Her talent lies in summoning portals to other times and places, but it’s a power she can’t control. Worse, there is a darkness at Drayton College that threatens to consume her. No one is who they seem, and the only person she can trust is herself. As engrossing as it is intense, it’s a solid successor to Lev Grossman’s The Magicians and Leigh Bardugo’s Ninth House."
