HARRISON  ' A modern-day Anne Rice  Henderson has a gift for creating a world engorged with
desire and death.' THE NEW YORK TIMES    Lennon Carter's life is falling apart. Until she gets
a mysterious phone call inviting her to sit the entrance exam for somewhere very few have heard
of - Drayton College  a school of magic hidden in a secret pocket of Savannah.  Lennon has been
chosen because - like everyone else at the school - she is special. She possesses the innate
gift of persuasion: the ability to wield her will like a weapon and to use it to control others
and  in rare cases  matter itself. After passing the gruelling exam  Lennon must now learn how
to master this devastating power. While persuasion takes a heavy toll on her body and her mind
she is captivated by all that surrounds her - her studies  Drayton's lush  moss-draped campus 
her brilliant classmates and  most of all  by Dante  the charismatic adviser who both
intimidates and enamours her.  But as Lennon becomes more adept at wielding her uncanny
abilities  she uncovers more about the unsettling history of Drayton and Dante's tragic and
violent past  and is increasingly disturbed by what she finds.  For it seems that the ultimate
test is to embrace absolute power without succumbing to corruption and darkness . . . and it's
a test she's terrified she is going to fail.
