The Four - Independent Bookshop Edition

Ellie Keel

Hardback

Out 11th April

We were always The Four. From our very first day at High Realms. The four scholarship pupils. Outsiders in a world of power and privilege.

It would have made our lives a lot easier if Marta had simply pushed Genevieve out of our bedroom window that day. Certainly, it would have been tragic. She would have died instantly.

But Marta didn't push her then, or  if you choose to believe me at any other time. If she had, all of what we went through would not have happened. I've told this story as clearly as I could as rationally as I've been able, in the circumstances, to achieve.

I don't regret what we did. And I would do it all again.

Dark academia perfect for fans of The Secret History and If We Were Villains. Four scholarship students dreams come true when they are accepted into an exclusive boarding school, but they will soon be bound by a dark secret that could save one of them or destroy them all. A dark, compelling and beguiling novel of revenge, guilt and love.

Ellie Keel is a dazzling new voice, Kate Mosse

An intensely gripping, thrilling and darkly beautiful debut. I was hooked, Karin Slaughter Sharp, powerful, tragic and addictive, Chris Whitaker
