Casey McQuiston meets The Secret History in this unmissable dark academia fantasy from New York Times bestselling author Lex Croucher following former childhood best friends who reunite at magical boarding school after years, only to find themselves enemies on opposite sides of the ugly secrets hidden within the gilded walls.

Welcome to the Temple School of Thaumaturgy...and your newest dark academia obsession.

For as long as they can remember, Briar Jones dreamed of attending the Temple School of Thaumaturgy. Behind its looming ornate gates, the elite boarding school—the place that has produced the most CEOs and Prime Ministers in British history—is whispered to be magical.

Briar's best friend, Sebastian Wolfe, never cared about Temple. He just wanted them to stay together forever.

When, at age eleven, Seb gets an acceptance letter and Briar doesn't, their childhood friendship is shattered. Seb vanishes onto Temple's grounds and Briar resigns themself to a mundane life. But they can't completely forget their yearning for Temple, for the extraordinary, to be one of the chosen in the ivory tower.

Seven years later, a summer job advert appears: a temp position sorting through the junk in Temple’s attics. And when Briar takes it, they discover that quiet, sensitive Seb, the boy they once loved more than anything else in the world, has become Bastian: a beautiful, arrogant villain feared by the entire school. And worse, the secrets Temple is hiding might not be so enchanting after all, but darker and far more horrifying than Briar could have ever imagined.

Trendy, cute bag at great price if you’re looking for designer inspired look at deep discount
Color: Wine Woven Leather, Color: Wine Woven Leather
I think if you are looking for a woven bag with a designer look (like the Bottega Veneta clutch this is modeled after) for a very deep discount then this bag is for you. I don’t think I will keep this bag because personally I don’t love the overly fake looking gold hardware that I think would scratch and tarnish very easily and the stitching is not great (you can see on video.) However, if you are looking for more of “the look” and less concerned about long term quality this would be a great bag! The color of this bag is very nice. I added pictures of it in direct sunlight and also indoors. I think it is very versatile and will match with many outfits because of the color. It is also a great large size clutch that could definitely fit more than your standard clutch and it comes with a crossbody strap to make it more functional. Overall for the price I think this is a great little bag that is very on trend right now!
