  When I arrived at Roseborne College searching for my foster brother, I had no idea what I was in for. In the past few weeks, I've endured torments both physical and emotional. I've looked death in the face. And I've made an unnerving discovery that's left me scrambling to pick up the pieces of the quest I started out on. 
  But the supernatural beings who run this school haven't conquered me yet. I'll turn the tables on them with my newfound knowledge—and maybe with the help of three temptingly screwed-up guys I never expected to count on.  
  At least, that's the plan. Everyone in this place is keeping secrets: me, the guys I might be falling for, and my brother. Secrets big enough to bring us together... or to tear us completely apart. How will I find the strength to continue the fight if it turns out I can't trust anyone—not even myself?

  The year is 1901, and Ada Byrd?spinster, schoolmarm, amateur naturalist?accepts a teaching post in isolated Lowry Bridge, grateful for the chance to re-establish herself where no one knows her secrets. She develops friendships with her neighbors, explores the woods with her students, and begins to see a future in this tiny farming community. Her past?riddled with grief and shame?has never seemed so far away. But then Ada begins to witness strange and grisly phenomena: a swarm of dying crickets, a self-mutilating rabbit, a malformed faun. She soon believes that something old and beastly?which she calls Grey Dog?is behind these visceral offerings, which both beckon and repel her. As her confusion deepens, her grip on what is real, what is delusion, and what is traumatic memory loosens, and Ada takes on the wildness of the woods, behaving erratically and pushing her newfound friends away. In the end, she is left with one question: What is the real horror? The Grey Dog, the uncontainable power of female rage, or Ada herself?

  "Don't be dramatic, it's just a morgue," said the Necromancer his son. 
  "Did you come to visit your victims?" asked Mortimer, who was in human form like the Necromancer. 
  "No, I came because I needed your help, Dad," said the Necromancer. 
  Mortimer pushed up his glasses which were slipping down his perfect nose. 
  Mortimer put his hands on his perfectly clean lab coat on his perfect hips looking curiously and defiantly at his son ready to rebuff the sharp verbal jab he expected from his son.
