If we told you we'd have to kill you. Amy Haskel, aside from being the point-of-view protagonist is a dedicated writer working at Eli University's campus literary magazine as the editor-in-chief. One day, she receives a mysterious phone call demanding that she show up to a certain place at a certain time-- with not much time left on the clock. Thinking the call is coming from the exclusive literary society on campus, Quill & Ink, so she heads over there, only to be greeted by a group of shadowy silhouettes who ask her all sorts of strange questions. Though she is suspicious and eventually tells the crowd of shadows off, not that much later, she receives the infamous black envelope that is said to be from the university's most prestigious, powerful society: Rose & Grave. They've never invited women into their ranks before, so why now? Amy grapples with everyday school problems, her best friend and roommate Lydia, boy troubles with her managing editor and sometimes flirt-buddy Brandon Weale, and eventually, whether or not to go through the process known as "Tapping," when she becomes part of the Rose & Grave society once and for all...

What's the deal with the "Secret Society" link on the official website?
You can gain access to the Secret Society by joining the official mailing list. Your first message will contain the code necessary to enter.
