From #1 New York Times bestselling author Joe Hill, a chilling tale of modern-world dangers, dark academia, and the unexpected consequences of revenge as six friends dabble in the occult and are tragically, horrifyingly successful… calling forth an evil entity that demands regular human sacrifice.

“A brilliantly Faustian fable with a heart as huge as a dragon’s, and a stinging twist in its tail. I devoured it.” —Ruth Ware, New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in Suite 11

Arthur Oakes is a reader, a dreamer, and a student at Rackham College, Maine, renowned for its frosty winters, exceptional library, and beautiful buildings. But his idyll—and burgeoning romance with Gwen Underfoot—is shattered when a local drug dealer and her partner corner him into one of the worst crimes he can imagine: stealing rare books from the college library.

Trapped and desperate, Arthur turns to his closest friends for comfort and help. Together they dream up a wild, fantastical scheme to free Arthur from the cruel trap in which he finds himself. Wealthy, irrepressible Colin Wren suggests using the unnerving Crane journal (bound in the skin of its author) to summon a dragon to do their bidding. The others—brave, beautiful Alison Shiner; the battling twins Donna and Donovan McBride; and brainy, bold Gwen—don’t hesitate to join Colin in an effort to smash reality and bring a creature of the impossible into our world.

But there’s nothing simple about dealing with dragons, and their pact to save Arthur becomes a terrifying bargain in which the six must choose a new sacrifice for King Sorrow every year—or become his next meal.

Thrilling

What a fantastic and amazing book. I felt every emotion while listening to it. Bravo 👏🏻

The best yet

Hill never misses, and this is further proof. What a truly amazing piece of work.

Attached

You know that tv show that’s your comfort companion? You know them, they’re like your people. This book felt like that. I became so very attached to these characters. Hill can do some character development! Additionally, this story is a unique take. I’ve read about witches, and vampires, and other creatures haunting someone but never a dragon. I also tremendously enjoyed the SK Easter eggs, lol.

Mixed genre story

This very quickly became my favorite book of the year. I was looped in within 15 minutes, then encountered the oldest literary dilemma. I wanted to know how it ended, but didn't want the story to ever end. I am greedy at heart, so I tore through it pretty quickly, and it was a fine meal. Thank you, Mr. Hill. This is something I will return to again and again. It transcends genre, and shows so much love and compassion for the flawed humans we all are.

Amazing

I'm so sad I finished the story. I want MOAR!! Fantastic writing and Narration. The way he read King Sorrows voice did things to me.
