First in his class and last in his noble line, Fabian Galloway's only hope of a good future is passing his elite school's honors class. It's only offered to the best thirteen students, and those students have a single assignment: kill their professor.

If they succeed, their student debt is forgiven. However, if an assassination attempt fails or the professor is alive at the end of the year, the students' lives are forfeit.

And dealing with the professor, a devil summoned solely to kill or be killed, is no easy task.

Fabian isn't worried, though. He trusts his best friendssofthearted math genius Credence and absent-minded but insightful Euphemiato help. After all, that's why he befriended them.

As the months pass and their professor remains impossibly alive, the trio must use every asset they have to survive. Or else failure will be on their academic recordsand their tombstonesforever.

"THAT DEVIL, AMBITION is razor-sharp, gut-wrenching, and out for blood, keeping the reader on edge while cutting deep with its masterfully clever plotting and beautifully flawed characters. I haven't been this obsessed with a book in a long time, even as it deftly put me in a chokehold and lovingly tore out my heart. It's a must-read, stand-out entry in the dark academia genre-not just good, but stunningly good." - A.M. Strickland, author of In the Ravenous Dark
