The Fox Hunt

About this book

Dive into the dark underbelly of England's most ancient university, where behind closed doors a circle of privileged students enter into a dark pagan ritual--one that holds tantalizing power and comes at a terrible price.​ "An absorbing novel that weaves an unforgettable tale of magic and subversion." --Kirkus Reviews (starred review) When practical, unassuming second-year student Emma Curran wins an exciting research fellowship, she is ushered into the glittering debauchery of the University elite. There, she falls for the devastating, aristocratic Jasper Balfour, leader of the all-male Turnbull Club: a shadowy secret society that has created centuries of Britain's leaders, power brokers and history-makers. One night, the Turnbulls propose a sinister little game: a fox hunt. The women run. The men chase. And Emma finds herself fleeing for her life through the streets, hunted by the boy she loves. Torn from her ordinary life and trapped in a dangerous, otherworldly realm, Emma awakens transformed. No longer mortal, she's become something beastly. And now she must summon every ounce of cunning and ferocity to save herself. "Bury me with this book." --Victoria Lee, author of A Lesson in Vengeance "Feels like running full-tilt through a nighttime forest." --Emma Törzs, author of Ink Blood Sister Scribe
