Hot Sale Vivisectors (2026)

In a famous but crumbling university city overrun by vegetation, power is held in a fragile balance between academics and a group of rogue gardeners. Agathe spends her days propping up the career of her fraudulent professor boss until a campus scandal erupts between Adam, the professors contrarian favourite student, and a rising young academic, with both men claiming discrimination. Her boss instructs her to gather information by befriending Adam, but Agathe soon becomes caught up in the events tearing the city apart and increasingly drawn to the alluring student. As the struggle over truth intensifies, this darkly beautiful novel becomes an icy, suspenseful love story and an ecological fable about a broken era, ideological certainty and spiritual reckoning.
