Darklend Academy is an isolated school on a distant island. Here, endless fog rolls in, evil things roam, and the dead rise. It’s the best place to hide from prying eyes troublesome offspring—too loud a surname, too many family secrets, and complete parental indifference all mean you have a direct road to Darklend.
No escape is possible from here, and survival is not granted to everyone. The teachers know how to find an approach even to the most capricious and dangerous members of the "golden" youth—the ones who crossed the line and did the irreversible.
So why am I here? I’m holding on with everything I’ve got, trying not to break. Just like everyone else who, in a single instant, lost everything that had made us chosen. We’re convinced we ended up in Darklend unfairly. But Jasper le Conrad is certain of the opposite: he believes he was sent here because of me. And he intends to pay me back cruelly. Now I’m on his territory—and it seems I have absolutely no protection.
Or maybe not?
