Some friendships are addictive


Finn is quickly seduced into a new circle of friends – four history scholars obsessed
with the deepest roots of ancient Scotland – who sweep him away on wild
adventures to forgotten castles and faerie lochs.
But he soon discovers the darker sides of his new friends: deadly rivalries, midnight
rituals, and a desperate search for a long-lost hallucinogen. And as Finn sinks into a
world where he can’t always trust what he’s seen each night, the group will learn just
how deadly obsession can be…
A shocking fever-dream of a thriller perfect for fans M.L. Rio’s If We Were
Villains, Ashley Winstead’s In My Dreams I Hold a Knife and Ellie Keel’s The
Four.
