A Scholar‘s Guide to Demonology & Other Dark Arts

In the start of a brand-new fantasy series, Genevieve Cogman, the author of the bestselling The Invisible Library, welcomes you to Graynes, a magical school for demon-summoning . . . Philomela was happy with her life at Cambridge University - until her father‘s mounting gambling debts forced her to leave the world of academia behind. So she can‘t quite believe her luck when she is hired to be the new Latin teacher at Graynes, an all-girls school nestled in the remote Yorkshire Moors. But just when Phil is getting used to the odd staff members, not to mention the frivolous schoolgirl pranks, things take a strange and unexpected turn: her students are summoning demons in the cellar. Graynes, she discovers, is no ordinary school - it‘s a training ground for the Queen‘s elite force of demonologists. Protecting England from nefarious forces certainly wasn‘t on the job description. And as Phil is plunged into a world of dark arts, demon pacts and witches-in-training, she soon finds herself entangled in a plot that threatens to destroy the magical realm from the inside out . . .
