The Four (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780063394384)

An international bestseller!

"An intensely gripping, thrilling and darkly beautiful debut. I was hooked." --Karin Slaughter, #1 New York Times bestselling author

A dark academia suspense debut perfect for fans of The Secret History and If We Were Villains, The Four follows a group of scholarship students whose dreams become a reality when they are accepted into an exclusive boarding school, but they are soon bound by a dark secret that could save one of them... or destroy them all.

I don't regret what we did. And I would do it all again.

Each of the four had, for their own reasons, been desperate to come to High Realms. Marta, Rose, Sami, and Lloyd beat out thousands of applicants for spots at one of the most exclusive private schools in the UK, whose alumni can be found at the highest levels of society. As the only scholarship students in their class, the four form a crucial comradery as they navigate the school's web of rivalries, honor, loyalty, and revenge.

Because within the storied institution, amongst the majestic buildings and rolling grounds, a sinister undercurrent of violence is brewing. And when one of the four reveals a devastating secret, each of the friends must wonder just how far they will go in order to remain at High Realms.

What follows is a hauntingly atmospheric and compulsively page-turning academic noir that explores the secretive world of elite institutions and the complex and often dangerous bonds of friendship.
