The author of the Waterstones Book of the Year-shortlisted The Binding returns with another literary sensation. Enchanting and formidably crafted, The Betrayals opens the doors to an ancient, exclusive institution, hidden away high up on the mountains and dedicated to the study of a strange, clandestine game. But times are changing, and centuries-old secrets and traditions are about to be defied. Compelling, intricate and utterly original, The Betrayals cements Bridget Collins’s place as one of the most exquisite new voices in fiction.
