What would she give up to attain everything she's always needed?

"I was so swept away... a wildly delicious supernatural paranormal spin on Jane Eyre!” —Elizabeth Burns, School Library Journal

"Acosta’s writing is rich and exacting in delivering a beautifully dark gothic." —Alice, Marvels

American Library Association's YALSA Nominee - Best Fiction for Young Adults

Orphaned at age six, Jane Williams has survived in harsh foster homes and dangerous neighborhoods by keeping to the shadows. Through hard work and determination, she manages to win a scholarship to exclusive Birch Grove Academy. She's befriended by amazing girls and has wonderful classes. She even starts tutoring the headmistress's gorgeous son, Lucien.

But the more Jane learns about Birch Grove, the more she comes to suspect dark secrets. Why did the wife of a popular teacher kill herself? What happened to the previous scholarship student, whose place Jane took? Why does Lucien's brother, Jack, seem to dislike her so much?

Jane begins to discover why she was brought to Birch Grove--and what she's willing to do to stay secure in a dangerous world.

"Compelling and romantic: a Jane Eyre for the modern age." —Julie Kagawa, NYT bestselling author of The Iron King

"A breath of fresh air in a genre marked by creaky gender relations and unchallenged class stratification." —Kirkus Reviews
