Norah Sullivan has just discovered she's a person who can manipulate probability. The same day Norah's navigation manifests, she and her father are swarmed by possibility beasts. When a possibility beast bites someone, their risk of death skyrockets. Pretty soon, her father falls ill.

Desperate to find a cure, Norah applies to the Academy of Navigation, where rumors persist of restricted information on beast bites hidden in research archives. Once on campus, Norah learns that only senior research assistants are allowed in the archives—and students can become one only by winning a team trial designed to push their navigation abilities to the brink.

She'll need to rely on her roommates, as well as her peer mentor, Vik Souza, to win the competition. But trouble arises at every turn. There are tensions in the group, romantic complications, and unexplained student disappearances. As Norah gets deeper into the competition, she realizes not everything is as it seems, and the stakes are much higher than she ever could have imagined.

A Study In Drowning meets Neverworld Wake in this debut YA fantasy filled with lush world-building, heart-stopping romance, and high-stakes competition that could be the key to everything.
