Oscar Lowe, a quiet care assistant at a Cambridge nursing home, is drawn into the orbit of Iris Bellwether and her eccentric, privileged circle after hearing a haunting organ in King's College chapel. The group's charismatic leader, Eden, is a troubled music prodigy whose experiments push friendship toward something darker.

Benjamin Wood's debut unfolds as an atmospheric study of talent, ambition and the thin line between genius and madness. Against the rituals of collegiate life and choral music, the novel examines privilege, loyalty and the moral cost of artistic obsession.

Readers who enjoy literary campus dramas and psychological fiction will appreciate the novel's complex characters, tense mood and sustained moral tension.
