The Four: the must-read psychological dark academia thriller debut of 2025 (Hardback)

Unsettling, Uncomfortable, Unputdownable.

***

Rose is sixteen when she arrives at High Realms boarding school, excited for the beginning of the rest of her life.

By the time she leaves, she and the three other scholarship students will have made the choices that decide their future.

Each one as heartbreaking and tragic as the last.

We were always THE FOUR.

From our very first day at High Realms. The four scholarship pupils. Outsiders in a world of power and privilege. 

It would have made our lives a lot easier if Marta had simply pushed Genevieve out of our bedroom window that day. Certainly, it would have been tragic. She would have died instantly.

But Marta didn't push her then, or - if you choose to believe me - at any other time. If she had, all of what we went through would not have happened. 

I've told this story as clearly as I could - as rationally as I've been able, in the circumstances, to achieve. I don't regret what we did.

And I would do it all again.
