Good girls deserve a treat.
After a freshman year she would rather forget, sophomore Nina Kaur knows being one of the chosen few accepted into The House is the first step in her path to the brightest possible future. Every member of The House, the most exclusive sorority on campus, and all its alumni, are beautiful, high-achieving, and universally respected.
Meanwhile, adjunct professor Dr. Sloane Hartley is struggling to balance returning to work after spending 18 months at home with her newborn daughter and accepting a demotion to support her partner's new position at the University, when she’s invited to be The House’s academic liaison.
As Nina and Sloane each get drawn deeper into the arcane rituals of the sisterhood, they learn that living well comes with bloody costs. And when they are finally invited to the table, they will have to decide just how much they can stomach in the name of solidarity and power.
