X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p><strong>"A student will find that the hard
 est lessons sometimes come from outside the classroom in this stunning dar
 k academia novel from the acclaimed author of&nbsp\;The Year of the Witchi
 ng&nbsp\;and&nbsp\;House of Hunger.</strong></p>\n<p>Lennon Carter&rsquo\;
 s life is falling apart.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>Then she gets a myst
 erious phone call inviting her to take the entrance exam for Drayton Colle
 ge\, a school of magic hidden in a secret pocket of Savannah. Lennon has b
 een chosen because&mdash\;like everyone else at the school&mdash\;she has 
 the innate gift of persuasion\, the ability to wield her will like a weapo
 n\, using it to control others and\, in rare cases\, matter itself.&nbsp\;
 &nbsp\;</p>\n<p>After passing the test\, Lennon begins to learn how to mas
 ter her devastating and unsettling power. But despite persuasion&rsquo\;s 
 heavy toll on her body and mind\, she is wholly captivated by her studies\
 , by Drayton&rsquo\;s lush\, moss-draped campus\, and&nbsp\;by her brillia
 nt classmates. But even more captivating is&nbsp\;her charismatic adviser\
 , Dante\, who both intimidates and enthralls her.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>As Lennon
  continues in her studies\, her control grows\, and she starts to uncover 
 more about the secret world she has entered into\, including the disquieti
 ng history of Drayton College. She is increasingly disturbed by what she l
 earns\, for it seems that the ultimate test is to embrace absolute power w
 ithout succumbing to corruption...and it&rsquo\;s a test she&rsquo\;s terr
 ified she&rsquo\;s going to fail.<strong></strong>"</p>\n<p>&nbsp\;<br />C
