From the Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling author Olivie Blake, this is a powerful and darkly entertaining novel about ambition, desire, and indulgence – as wealthy mothers and sorority girls participate in a sinister new wellness trend . . .

Good girls deserve a reward. The House is the most exclusive sorority on campus, and all its members are beautiful, high-achieving, and respected. After a freshman year she would rather forget, sophomore Nina Kaur knows that being accepted into The House is the first step toward a brighter future. The House will surely ease her fears of failure and protect her from those who see a young woman alone as prey.

Meanwhile, adjunct professor Dr. Sloane Hartley is struggling. After eighteen months at home with her newborn daughter, Sloane’s clothes don’t fit properly; her husband, a dedicated father, isn’t as present as she thinks; and even the few hours a day she spends apart from her child fill her with overwhelming boredom. When invited to be The House’s academic liaison, Sloane envies the level of collective perfection she observes and desperately desires.

As Nina and Sloane become further immersed in the mysterious rituals of the sisterhood, they discover that living well comes at bloody costs. And when they are finally invited to the table, they will have to decide how much they can endure in the pursuit of solidarity and power.
