An Arcane Inheritance by Kamilah Cole

An Arcane Inheritance by Kamilah Cole

"Draws readers into its spell before asking readers to consider who pays the true price of power – and what it means to refuse to let the powerful win." – Laura R. Samotin, author of The Sins on Their Bones

***

From the exciting and singular voice of Kamilah Cole comes a modern-day dark academia fantasy with a twist, perfect for fans of Babel and A Deadly Education.

Warren University has stood amongst the prestigious elite for centuries, built on the bones – and forbidden magic – of its most prized BIPOC students…hiding the rot of a secret society that will do anything to keep their own powers burning bright. No matter who they must sacrifice along the way.

Ellory Morgan is determined to prove that she belongs at Warren University, an Ivy League school whose history is deeply linked to occult rumours and dark secrets. But as she settles into her first year, something about the ornate buildings and shadowy paths feels strangely…familiar. And, with every passing day, that sense of déjà vu grows increasingly sinister.

Despite all logic, despite all reason, despite all the rules of reality, Ellory knows one thing to be true: she has been here before. And if she can’t convince brooding legacy student Hudson Graves to help her remember a past that seems determined to slip through her fingers as if by some insidious magic…this time, she may lose herself for good.

An Arcane Inheritance showcases the rising star of author Kamilah Cole in all its splendour, in a modern-day dark academia speculative fantasy with a romance twist – perfect for dark academia and romantasy readers alike.
