The Exorcism of Faeries

From the #1 bestselling author of Autumn of the Grimoire, J.L. Vampa, comes the first in a haunting dark academia romance about a young woman studying botany in Ireland who falls for her professor of morbid anatomy, as they are drawn into a deadly plague threatening their world—perfect for fans of Ninth House and An Academy for Liars.

Atta is the daughter of morticians, studying Botany at Trinity College, Dublin. Professor Murdoch is her Morbid Anatomy professor. And the Fae are possessing the good people of Dublin. Only Atta and Professor Murdoch can exorcize the fae, but can they fight their forbidden feelings for one another in the process?

It is said they are but lore.

It is said they are but demons.

It is said this is but a plague. Wayward spirits.

Ghosts.

Spectres.

Ghouls.

The truth beckons.

Tick flick tick.

The clock keeps time with the candle.

Until they all get sick.

Wax slides down the gilded stick.

And the Fae invade with bramble.

He always reads standing in front of the shelf, one hand shoved in his pocket until it’s time to flip the page. It’s the first thing I noticed about him, while I was supposed to be studying. Instead, I watched him move from shelf to shelf and book to book. I had no idea at the time that I would one day meet him and he would change everything.

We would change everything.
