This captivating novel tells the story of a secret school in Virginia where the art of persuasion is taught as a science.

Emily Ruff, a talented but love-struck prodigy, and Wil Jamieson, an innocent man caught in a secret war between rival factions of poets, become embroiled in a shocking world where the body count rises, and the world teeters on the brink of a Tower of Babel event. Max Barry's ambitious and spellbinding thriller will keep you turning the pages.
