Description

This deluxe limited edition includes stunning designed endpapers, stenciled edges, and beautiful foil on the case.

An ambitious alchemist must uncover her university's dark secrets while trying to escape from her mysterious past in this electrifying debut.

On a rain-soaked night in modern-day Paris, Larkspur Lee and her academic rivals find themselves at the center of an impossible crime-the murder of their university's headmistress, the immortal Petronelle Flamel.

In the aftermath of Flamel's death, the school devolves into chaos. The mysterious investigator assigned to the case, Violaine, believes a cult known as the Promethean Genesis is responsible for Flamel's murder. But Lark, who knows all too well what kind of horrors that the Prometheans commit, will do anything to stay out of the cult's reach. Matters are complicated when the mentor she crossed an ocean and a continent to escape re-enters her life, enticing her to his side once again while secretly wielding an agenda of his own.

As the Prometheans' plans come to fruition and the university's dark history comes to light, Lark has no choice but to decide whether the power she desires is truly worth the price.

Mothsblood is pure alchemy. With beautiful and incisive prose, a complex, ambitious protagonist, and a darkly seductive world where opulent façades hide grotesque truths, Lynn D. Jung creates a truly haunting debut. This is dark academia at its finest.

Pascale Lacelle, New York Times bestselling author of CURIOUS TIDES
Mothsblood drew me into its dangerous world of dark academia, featuring a compelling heroine who is as fierce as she is cunning. Vivid and visceral, Jung's transformative debut will keep you guessing until the last page.

Axie Oh, New York Times bestselling author of THE FLOATING WORLD
Mothsblood: a dark alchemy mingling The Secret History and Frankenstein. Jung writes with the precision of an entomology pin, achieving here a masterclass in sharp prose, tight plotting, and a low, slow horror that will seep into your bones. This book is an intoxicating addition to the dark academia canon. In a word, extraordinary.
