An ambitious alchemist must uncover her university’s dark secrets while trying to escape from her mysterious past in this electrifying debut.
On a rain-soaked night in modern-day Paris, Larkspur Lee and her academic rivals find themselves at the center of an impossible crime—the murder of their university’s headmistress, the immortal Petronelle Flamel.
In the aftermath of Flamel’s death, the school devolves into chaos. The mysterious investigator assigned to the case, Violaine, believes a cult known as the Promethean Genesis is responsible for Flamel’s murder. But Lark, who knows all too well what kind of horrors that the Prometheans commit, will do anything to stay out of the cult’s reach. Matters are complicated when the mentor she crossed an ocean and a continent to escape re-enters her life, enticing her to his side once again while secretly wielding an agenda of his own.
As the Prometheans’ plans come to fruition and the university’s dark history comes to light, Lark has no choice but to decide whether the power she desires is truly worth the price.©2026 Lynn D. Jung (P)2026 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

This debut promises dark academia fantasy and it delivers that and so much more . . . Jung's writing is evocative, the worldbuilding is fresh, and the magic system is equal parts fascinating and terrifying, bringing a visceral humanness to an otherwise dark and glittering world of magic.
Every time I do one of these lists there are a few books that I like, have kind of a crush on??? I don’t know how to explain it other than that. Sometimes there’s a book that I just can’t stop thinking about, and this time around, Mothsblood is that book . . . High on vibes, obsessive about the actual work of academia, and filled with a cast of messy, ego-centric geniuses . . . Mothsblood is dark, emotionally intense, and completely absorbing.
[A] bold debut.
Jung’s lush prose conveys the depths of Lark’s ambition . . . A mesmerizing exploration of power and progress.
A particularly clear-eyed take on fantasy academia.
Mothsblood is exactly the kind of dark academia fantasy I want to read when fall arrives . . . I loved the tension between Lark's ambition, and her growing understanding of what progress and innovation may actually cost.
Sinister, sexy, and in utter command over its own allure. Mothsblood carves to the innards of dark academia, landing every strike amid questions of knowledge, prestige, and belonging. A triumph of a debut.
An absolutely captivating and lusciously vicious tale, Jung's debut is a must-read for lovers of complex protagonists and dark academia fantasy.
Mothsblood: a dark alchemy mingling The Secret History and Frankenstein. Jung writes with the precision of an entomology pin, achieving here a masterclass in sharp prose, tight plotting, and a low, slow horror that will seep into your bones. This book is an intoxicating addition to the dark academia canon. In a word, extraordinary.

Mothsblood is dark academia in its truest sense—a world balanced on the knife-edge between magical old-world opulence and the grime, rot, and actual bones hidden beneath it . . . With prose so beautiful I wanted to underline every single line, Lynn D. Jung crafts a world that feels vividly, tangibly real . . . A gorgeous, haunting debut, perfect for readers who loved Leigh Bardugo's Ninth House.
