Shades of Darkness
Islington Arts Academy
is not an average high school. Nestled in the forests of Michigan,
surrounded by trees and nature and virtually no evidence of
civilization, it is an oasis for those looking to get away. Perfect for a student like Kaira Winters, who wants nothing more than to put her past behind her and focus on the present... and her looming graduation, just a
few months away.
But the past has a way of returning when least expected.
Kaira knows that what happened before, at her old school, wasn’t normal. She
knows that what happened to her ex-boyfriend wasn’t natural. But she
refuses to believe that the recent death on campus, the one that left
everyone on edge, has anything to do with her. She refuses to believe
that she could be at fault again.
But just as the past always returns, the truth can never stay hidden for long.
Even if Kaira didn’t cause the first death at Islington, or the second, or
the third, she has the ability to find out who did. She has the
obligation to stop whatever is coming to campus. To end the darkness
that is falling with the same snow that once blanketed the woods in
beauty.
But to embrace this power - to relinquish herself to the
ancient entity that has been lurking in the corners of her mind - is to
let go of her humanity... and Kaira doesn’t know how far she can go before
she loses herself completely.
