Whitney High School had always been praised for its excellence.Perfect grades. Perfect students. Perfect smiles.No one ever talked about the screams.Twenty years ago, beneath the polished halls and award filled offices, blood soaked into the school’s foundation. The Headmaster and his wife were found brutally murdered, their bodies drained of life in a way no one could explain.The case was buried.The truth was silenced.And their son disappeared.That night, a boy named Liam vanished into the darkness,his grief twisted into something far more dangerous than sorrow. Rage followed him. So did a power that was never meant to exist.Now, Liam has returned.Whitney High has a new Headmistress, Ms. Linda..beloved, respected, untouchable. But behind her warm smiles lies a hunger that has only grown stronger with time. She feeds on the life force of her students, hiding behind authority and fear.Liam’s revenge was supposed to be simple.Kill the monster who destroyed his family.Until she arrived.Rose Willow. Sixteen. New to New York. Completely human or so she seemed.Liam tried to break her.Tried to corrupt her.Tried to turn her into a monster like himself.She didn’t change.Instead, she survived.And for the first time in twenty years, Liam’s thirst for vengeance shifted into something far more dangerous.Because if Rose was immune to darkness…then she was exactly what both of them needed.And exactly what the darkness would come for next.The hunt has begun.
