The Exorcism of Faeries

From #1 bestselling author J.L. Vampa (Autumn of the Grimoire) comes the first in a haunting, decadently romantic dark fantasy and dark academia romance—perfect for fans of Ninth House, If We Were Villains, and Nocticadia—about a young woman studying botany in Ireland who falls for her professor of morbid anatomy, as they are drawn into a deadly plague threatening their world.

She is the daughter of morticians, studying Botany at Trinity College, Dublin. He is her Morbid Anatomy professor. And the Fae are possessing the good people of Dublin. Only Atta and Professor Murdoch can exorcize the fae, but can they fight their forbidden feelings for one another in the process? It is said they are but lore. It is said they are but demons. It is said this is but a plague. Wayward spirits. Ghosts. Spectres. Ghouls. The truth beckons. Tick, flick, tick. The clock keeps time with the candle. Until they all get sick. Wax slides down the gilded stick. And the Fae invade with bramble.
