The Raking Light

Imogen Thorne · A dark academia study in wax, ambition and deceit

£3.77

About this book

Every wax figure bears its maker’s thumbprint; under the right light, each one is still quietly telling on somebody.

At Ashgrove College, a clandestine atelier casts the dead in wax exactly as they died, under one absolute rule: a figure must not lie. Gregory Lang enters on a borrowed biography and proves unnervingly adept at making false wax pass for truth. To leave, Gregory must attempt one honest pour—and pay with everything his talent for deception has won.
