I loved it.' - Kara Thomas, author of The Cheerleaders and That Weekend ' A Lesson in Vengeance is at once dark and mesmerizing, with spine-tingling suspense and mind-bending twists. The soil under her feet is bloody with Dalloway’s history. But when the past begins to invade on the present, Felicity needs to decide where she stands. So when Ellis asks for help researching the Dalloway Five for her second book, Felicity can’t say no.ĭalloway’s occult lore is everywhere, and the new girl won’t let Felicity forget it. A prodigy novelist at seventeen, Ellis is eccentric and brilliant, and Felicity can’t shake the pull she feels to her. It’s Ellis Haley’s first year at Dalloway. She even has her old room in Godwin House, the exclusive dormitory rumoured to be haunted by the spirits of the five Dalloway students who died there - girls some say were witches. And now she’s back to finish her senior year after the tragic death of her girlfriend. It wasn’t until Felicity enrolled that she fell in love with the dark. Sometimes you can still smell the blood on the air. Five violent deaths in the first ten years of its existence. The history of Dalloway School lives in the bones it was built on. “So, I went to the emergency room and they did a battery of tests.” “There was a day when I couldn’t breathe and felt extremely fatigued and on the verge of passing out, with my heart racing,” she says. It’s a world, she says, that often feels foreign and unwelcoming “for people who look like me.” The ‘Sense’ of IllnessĪ resident of Chicago’s diverse suburban community of Oak Park, Stigger was completing her master’s degree in education when, she says, she began feeling “tired, faint, a bit off.” Sophisticated and knowledgeable about her family’s medical care, she tried to brush the symptoms off. Now a five-year lung cancer survivor, the 40-year-old mother, wife, and teacher is an activist who freely shares her experiences and hard-won wisdom to help others deal with the medical establishment. She says the fact that she is a Black American, and a woman, has everything to do with it. Her doctors didn’t believe her - for a full six months. Lightbringer can have two radically different meanings. At the end, his Triumph is exactly the same length as Silenius's was and the crowds sing "The Battlecry of the Lightbringer". Lysander is associated more and more with Silenius "The Lightbringer" as Dark Age continues. It's a fitting name for the book after "Dark" Age. On his recent stream on Instagram, it sounded like Pierce Brown almost slipped up and gave away the name of the new book, and it sounded to most people like it started with a "D" but I have a feeling it might actually be "Lightbringer".

This community is dedicated to all things Red rising, a science fiction series by Pierce Brown. Kelly was abducted by her father for three years and this drama is another source of inspiration in Hopkins’ books. A third child, Kelly, was the result of her next tumultuous marriage which ended as a result of abuse. Cristal would much later go on to be the inspiration behind Hopkins’ bestselling series about the corruptive force of methamphetamines. Two children, Jason and Cristal, were born by 1976, but her marriage with their father ended shortly after. After going to college to pursue a degree in journalism, Hopkins dropped out to marry and start a family. Unfortunately, there were quite a few speedbumps along the way. With such an influential start, one might assume that Hopkins’ road to the bestseller list might have been an easy one. Hopkins published her first poem, a haiku, at the age of nine and would discover later in life that her biological mother Toni, was also a lifelong poet. Her mother taught her to value literature and to read often. Her father, a self-made millionaire who made his money in the steel industry, taught her the value of working hard and staying honest. She grew up in Palm Springs and went to private school through eighth grade. She was adopted by seventy-two-year-old Albert and forty-two-year old Valeria Wagner at birth.
