The League of Delphi. Book 1 of the Delphi Trilogy - Chris Everheart

Zack returned to home to uncover the truth, a truth filled with deadly secrets

Seventeen-year-old Zachary White has come home to Arcanville - a small, strange, impossibly wealthy town he was taken from as a child - with one goal: discover who he was before his mother changed his name, put him on a plane to France, and disappeared from his life. He doesn't know what she was fleeing from. He doesn't know who to trust. And he definitely doesn't know that the town's most prominent citizens are hiding one of the oldest secrets in human history.

Working at a downtown coffee shop, Zach finds the diary of Sutton Bradford, a classmate who killed himself and whom no one in town seems to mourn. The diary is full of cryptic notes: a mysterious committee, a ranking system, a program called the Pythia, and a single word that keeps appearing like a warning - Delphi.

When Zach follows the clues into the heart of Arcanum College's fortress-like library, he discovers the League of Delphi: an ancient secret society that has used a chemical compound called Pneuma to put young women into prophetic trances for millennia. And Ashley Sloan, one of the few people in town he can trust, is their next candidate.

Zach came back to Arcanville to learn who he is. Now he has to decide what he's willing to risk after discovering the truth.

The League of Delphi is a gripping YA conspiracy thriller that opens a trilogy perfect for fans of James Dashner's Maze Runner series, Anthony Horowitz's Alex Rider book, or anyone who believes the truth is always more dangerous than the lies protecting it.
