Dark Academia Romance (Contemporary New Adult, Open Door, Explicit) · Quill and Bone, Book 5
Enter Nothing False
In two hundred years, Quill and Bone has let eleven members swear the clause again. Thea Crowder is about to work out what the house wanted from every one of them.
Four years sworn, no lineage, and the only member whose grandfather worked with his hands, Thea petitions the house to let her re-swear the keeping clause — and declines, in one formal sentence she repeats unchanged for five weeks, to say to whom she broke it. So the house appoints as her examiner the one man certain to get an answer out of her: Hallam Osgood, her rival for the wardenship of the deposits, and the man she told. He says nothing at all when the appointment is read out.
Three nights a week in the reading room, in gloves, formally establishing a thing they both already know — because the senior warden has ruled that nothing may be entered false, and a re-swearing cannot stand on a bare petition. Then Thea works the oath book backwards, finds the eleven, and finds what the eleven have in common.
A dark academia romance novella: ritual, gloves, old money, explicit heat, and a heroine who stops asking to be made clean. Perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo and Penelope Douglas.
