| book description |

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 once enjoyed the carefree life of a Cambridge Classics PhD - until her fatherâ€™s gambling debts forced her to trade prestigious academia for a job on the windswept Yorkshire Moors. Graynes, an isolated all-girls school, offers a quiet - if terribly damp - lifeline. As the new Latin mistress, Phil expects nothing more taxing than dreary weather and making dead languages interesting. Instead, she finds unsettlingly eccentric staff, frankly terrifying schoolgirl pranks . . . and a demonic summoning circle in the cellar. For Graynes, it turns out, is no ordinary school. But the training ground for the Queenâ€™s elite demonologists. Guarding the realm from the forces of hell was certainly not on the job description. But as Phil is plunged into a world of dark arts, talking familiars (and many custard creams), she uncovers a sinister plot that threatens not just the school, but the fate of England itself . . .
