For fans of The Inheritance Games, Truly Devious, and the sharp humor of Gilmore Girls, The Glass Brigade is a twisty, puzzle-filled dark academia mystery with secret societies, high-stakes suspense, and a sweet, closed-door friends-to-lovers romance.

Eleanor and Caroline DeLourey inherited more than a luxurious trust fund—their grandfather’s ruthless law firm built a legacy of wealth, power, and deadly secrets. But when Caroline disappears, leaving only a cryptic message that Eleanor can’t decipher, the sisters’ glittering world turns upside down.

Caroline’s Porsche is discovered at the bottom of a creek, but instead of her body, she’s left a cryptic message that Eleanor can’t decode. Eleanor’s only lead is The Glass Brigade, an infamous secret society at her prestigious college—and the last thing  Caroline ever warned her about.

Thrown into a world of death-defying initiations, buried corruption, and glittering danger, Eleanor soon realizes she can’t survive on her own. Regan O’Malley—haunted by his father’s mysterious death and the scandal that left his family in ruins—may hold the missing pieces she needs. But trusting him could cost Eleanor everything. Their alliance begins to spark into something deeper, and falling for him might be as dangerous as the secrets they’re chasing.

Regan knows joining The Glass Brigade is his only chance at uncovering the truth about his father—and protecting his mother before it’s too late. But as the initiations grow more perilous, and the society tightens its grip, his greatest fear isn’t surviving the trials. It’s that Eleanor will pay the price for the secrets he’s sworn to expose.

From cliffside escapes and eerie forest carnivals to haunted snowy mansions where not every initiate makes it out alive, Eleanor and Regan must navigate the society’s deadly games, unravel what really happened to Caroline, and decide if the truth—and their growing bond—are worth the risk.
