Page Whittaker has always been an outcast. And after the deadly incident that destroyed her single friendship at her old school, she needs a fresh start. Which is why when she receives a scholarship offer from Agathion College, an elite boarding school folded deep within the moors of Scotland, she doesn’t even consider turning it down.
Agathion is everything Page has ever wanted: a safe haven full of dusty books, steaming cups of tea and rigorous intellectual debate. And for the first time in her life, Page has even managed to become part of a close group of friends. Cyrus, Ren, Gideon, Lacey and Oak help her feel at home in Agathion's halls--the only problem is, they're all keeping secrets from her.
Page doesn't know it yet, but her perfect new school has dark roots--roots that stretch back to its crooked foundation, and an ancient clandestine society with rumored ties to demonic magic. Soon, Page will be forced to learn that not everyone at Agathion is who they say they are. Least of all, her friends.
Agathion claims to teach its students history…but some histories should stay buried.

Soon the two discover that their connection runs deeper than football. But Finley can't let herself get distracted, and Theo has secrets of his own.

Un conjunto de apuntes autobiográficos que abarcan la geografía escrita de su vida de 1942 a 1972. Lo más parecido a una autobiografía del autor.
Aunque Truman Capote no llegó a escribir su autobiografía, los textos que componen Los perros ladran son lo más parecido a ello de que disponemos. Constituyen, en palabras del autor, «un mapa en prosa, una geografía escrita de mi vida desde 1942 hasta 1972». Y es que, al principio de su carrera, Capote tuvo una existencia errante que le llevó por Italia, España, Tánger, Haití: sus apuntes sobre esos lugares, junto con sus impresiones de la Nueva Orleans y Nueva York de su infancia y adolescencia, bajo el rótulo Color local, dibujan, con pinceladas impregnadas de una peculiar poesía, una perspectiva poco conocida del autor. Por sus páginas desfilan personajes distinguidos, como André Gide, Cecil Beaton, Colette o Greta Garbo, y también otros anónimos, aunque igualmente antológicos.
