Summary
Cauldaster Private Academy-in a word, prestigious. Built on the bones of an old family manor, the school has accepted only male students since it opened. Only recently has it opened its doors to female students, and, as a show of good faith, offered a scholarship to a young woman-selected at random-from the nearest public school. Cauldaster itself is perennially stormy, but the poor weather is made up for by quality teaching-or so they claim. In reality, the school's main focus is something much darker, something shadowy and secretive. And once times begin to change, it becomes difficult to keep secrets sealed-especially from curious girls who feel outcast and alone.
Y/N is 16, rebellious, and a social outcast. She doesn't cow easily, and she doesn't plan to allow herself to be pushed around at her new school. She may not want to be here, but she does plan to make the best of it. After all, there must be something more interesting going on at this school than outdated classes and mismanaged grounds. Like Draco, the strange and cruel boy who seems tormented by something he cannot share. Perhaps he is the key to truly understanding the dark goings-on of this miserable place.
