Cassandra Khaw w/ Katee Robert

The Hellebore Technical Institute for the Gifted is the premier academy for the dangerously powerful: the Anti-Christs and Ragnaroks, the world-eaters and apocalypse-makers.

Hellebore promises redemption, acceptance, and a normal life after graduation. At least, that’s what Alessa Li is told after she’s kidnapped and forcibly enrolled.

But the Institute is more than just a haven for monsters. On graduation day, the faculty go on a ravenous rampage, feasting on their student body. Trapped in the school’s cavernous library, Alessa and her surviving classmates must do something they were never taught: work together.

If they don't, this school will eat them alive...

“A gorgeous, gory shuddering heart of a book! Khaw’s prose and storytelling remain god-tier!” —Katee Robert, author Neon Gods

“I’m not being cute—this is the punk rock, eldritch god, carnage-fueled battle royale dark academia that makes partial decapitation look like an amateur sandbox. The Library at Hellebore is more metal than I’ll ever be and too cool for most of you. You’ve been warned.” —Olivie Blake, author of The Atlas Six

“Wretched and filthy with gore, delighting in both viscera and human connection in the midst of ugliness, The Library at Hellebore is absolutely killer. If you’re looking for a book that gets its hands dirty, this one’s for you.” —Andrew Joseph White, author of Compound Fracture
