The Price of Admission

The Valhalla Academy seriesbook 1 of 1

Melissa Frain at Tor Teen has acquired Kristen Simmons's latest YA trilogy, The Valhalla Academy. The series, a Norse myth-inspired riff on The Skulls, is about an elite boarding school where students earn their keep running cons for their powerful headmaster, the girl from the wrong side of the tracks who gains admittance into their too-good-to-be-true world, and the real cost of success. Publication of the first book, The Price of Admission, is set for fall 2018, with A Study in Deception and The Measure of Risk to follow; Joanna Mackenzie at Nelson Literary Agency brokered the deal for world rights.
