A Deadly Pledge: A dark academia Gothic horror

M.A. Bennett

The secret society everyone's dying to join ...

A case of mistaken identity means Eddie Dontay is hurled into the exclusive world of New Haven School. Pretending to be Bartholomew "Brat" Van Buren III, the sole heir to a rich family, who mysteriously disappeared a year ago, Eddie is sent undercover to expose the dark secrets of the Gloomth society.

But all is not what it seems. Eddie must participate in a series of difficult initiations, which prove his fitness for the club, competing against other students. An increasingly deadly contest culminates in the most dangerous challenge of all at a horror-filled, legendary Gothic house.

Is joining the Gloomth really worth dying for?

Perfect for fans of Wednesday and Holly Jackson.
