Description

This deluxe limited edition includes stunning designed endpapers and stenciled edges.

An ambitious alchemist must uncover her university's dark secrets while trying to escape from her mysterious past in this electrifying debut.

On a rain-soaked night in modern-day Paris, Larkspur Lee and her academic rivals find themselves at the center of an impossible crime-the murder of their university's headmistress, the immortal Petronelle Flamel.

In the aftermath of Flamel's death, the school devolves into chaos. The mysterious investigator assigned to the case, Violaine, believes a cult known as the Promethean Genesis is responsible for Flamel's murder. But Lark, who knows all too well what kind of horrors that the Prometheans commit, will do anything to stay out of the cult's reach. Matters are complicated when the mentor she crossed an ocean and a continent to escape re-enters her life, enticing her to his side once again while secretly wielding an agenda of his own.

As the Prometheans' plans come to fruition and the university's dark history comes to light, Lark has no choice but to decide whether the power she desires is truly worth the price.

Lynn D. Jung

Sinister, sexy, and in utter command over its own allure. Mothsblood carves to the innards of dark academia, landing every strike amid questions of knowledge, prestige, and belonging. A triumph of a debut.

Chloe Gong, #1 New York Times bestselling author of IMMORTAL LONGINGS
An absolutely captivating and lusciously vicious tale, Jung's debut is a must-read for lovers of complex protagonists and dark academia fantasy.

Kiersten White, #1 New York Times bestselling author of LUCY UNDYING
Mothsblood is literary alchemy-by turns a piercing interrogation of academia, a riveting mystery, and an intimate portrayal of the diasporic identity. In her brilliant debut, Jung claws off the varnish of prestigious institutions, laying bare the monstrous truths within, and the nuances of trauma, achievement, and survival. This is dark academia examined through its most illuminating and necessary lens. Jung is carving out a league of her own.

K. M. Fajardo, author of LOCAL HEAVENS
Mothsblood is dark academia in its truest sense-a world balanced on the knife-edge between magical old-world opulence and the grime, rot, and actual bones hidden beneath it . . . With prose so beautiful I wanted to underline every single line, Lynn D. Jung crafts a world that feels vividly, tangibly real . . . A gorgeous, haunting debut, perfect for readers who loved Leigh Bardugo's Ninth House.
