About this book:

Step onto the hallowed, ivy-clad grounds of Northampton College, where tradition and ambition intertwine, and secrets run deeper than the ancient roots. Rowan Carter, a scholarship student navigating a world of privilege, finds solace in the mentorship of the brilliant Professor Margaret Ellison. But when Professor Ellison vanishes without a trace, Rowan is pulled into a labyrinth of veiled threats, cryptic notes, and a decades-old campus mystery whispered about in hushed tones – the unsolved disappearance of student Alice Bellwether.

As Rowan digs for answers, she uncovers a powerful and ruthless secret society, the Phoenix, deeply embedded within the college’s elite. Their motto, *Ex Tenebris Lux*—From Darkness, Light—takes on a chilling new meaning as Rowan realizes the Phoenix will stop at nothing to keep its history buried, a history tied to academic fraud, silenced voices, and a dark secret at the very heart of Northampton’s founding. With the help of a few unexpected allies and a cryptic note urging her to "Look for the Raven," Rowan races against time to uncover the truth of Professor Ellison's disappearance and the fate of Alice Bellwether, before she becomes the next casualty in the Phoenix's deadly game.

*Whispers in the Ivy* is a gripping campus mystery that delves into the dark underbelly of power, privilege, and betrayal. It’s a story of a young woman’s courage in the face of overwhelming odds, the search for truth in a world built on lies, and the enduring fight for justice within an institution steeped in centuries of secrets. Prepare to be drawn into a world where every shadow holds a clue, and the light of revelation comes at a dangerous price.
