A beautiful 5th anniversary edition of the best-selling dark academia thriller, featuring a new cover, original illustrations, and luxurious finishes. Oliver Marks has just been released after serving ten years for the murder of one of his closest friends, a crime he may or may not have committed. Detective Colborne, who imprisoned him, wants to know what really happened ten years ago. As a young actor studying Shakespeare at an elite arts conservatory, Oliver noticed that his talented classmates seemed to play the same roles onstage and off, and when the teachers change up the casting, a good-natured rivalry turns ugly, and the plays spill dangerously over into life. When tragedy strikes, one of the seven friends is found dead, and the rest face their greatest acting challenge: convincing the police and themselves that they are blameless.

A stunning 5th anniversary edition of the bestselling dark academia thriller, complete with a brand-new cover, original illustrations, and deluxe finishes.

Oliver Marks has just completed a ten-year prison sentence for the murder of one of his closest friends, a crime he may or may not have committed. On the day of his release, he is greeted by the detective who sent him to prison. Detective Colborne is retiring, but before he does, he wants to know what really happened ten years ago.

As a young actor studying Shakespeare at an elite arts conservatory, Oliver noticed that his talented classmates seemed to play the same roles onstage and off: villain, hero, tyrant, temptress. Oliver felt destined to always be a supporting character in someone else's story.

But when the teachers change up the casting, a friendly rivalry turns ugly, and the plays spill dangerously over into life.

When tragedy strikes, one of the seven friends is found dead. The rest face their greatest acting challenge yet: convincing the police and themselves that they are blameless.
