The first ferry of the new term arrives in six days. Let us hope it finds you alive and well.

When Bronte Cade’s mother vanishes, the only clue she leaves behind is an invitation to a retreat for magical poets. Determined to find answers, Bronte attends in her mother’s place by masquerading as the esteemed Dr. Sappho Cade.

​But when Bronte arrives at the Radley School of Poetry, she finds the island abandoned—save for six other confused poets, one line of an unfinished poem, and an anonymous host who issues a chilling ultimatum through an enchanted gramophone: complete the spell, and they may return home on the next ferry. Fail, and they die.

​There’s another problem: Bronte isn’t magical.

​With escape impossible, the body count rising, and her mother still missing, Bronte forms a wary alliance with the infuriating yet brilliant Marlowe Fang. Together, they race to unmask their host before Bronte is exposed—or worse, the next victim.​

But beneath the host’s sinister scheme lies an even more insidious plot, one decades in the making. It bleeds beyond the shores of Radley like an ink stain, and no one’s hands are clean. Least of all the people Bronte trusts most.

Critic Reviews

As lyrical as it is brutal, Death in Verse is a haunting fantasy about language, power, and the violence of institutions that decide whose voices deserve to exist. Perfect for readers who love dark historical fantasy, politically charged magic systems, and stories where survival itself is an act of defiance. —Aiden Thomas, New York Times bestselling author of Cemetery Boys
Death in Verse is a wildly imaginative and lyrically stunning debut—a refreshing addition to the murder mystery genre. Julie Lew expertly weaves heart-pounding thrills with emotionally tender scenes, crafting a story that is wholly unique and sure to linger with readers long after they’ve finished reading.—Skyla Arndt, author of Together We Rot and House of Hearts
