This is St Trinian’s meets the legend of Faust.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePhilomela once enjoyed the carefree life of a Cambridge Classics PhD - until her father’s gambling debts forced her to trade prestigious academia for a job on the windswept Yorkshire Moors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGraynes, an isolated all-girls school, offers a quiet - if terribly damp - lifeline. As the new Latin mistress, Phil expects nothing more taxing than dreary weather and making dead languages interesting. Instead, she finds unsettlingly eccentric staff, frankly terrifying schoolgirl pranks . . . and a demonic summoning circle in the cellar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor Graynes, it turns out, is no ordinary school. But the training ground for the Queen’s elite demonologists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGuarding the realm from the forces of hell was certainly not on the job description. But as Phil is plunged into a world of dark arts, talking familiars (and many custard creams), she uncovers a sinister plot that threatens not just the school, but the fate of England itself . . .\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e**Praise for Genevieve Cogman:‘Cogman writes with beauty and wit’ – T.
