In a small Scottish village on the eastern shore of Loch Ness is Descartes Academy, a seemingly ordinary boarding school with a secret. A secret, Lake Charles is about to uncover...
After a tragic accident leaves her orphaned, Lake is sent halfway around the world to live with her estranged uncle , a professor at Descartes. Starting her junior year in a strange place is hard enough, even worse considering the circumstances that have brought her here. Lake is expecting to find the halls filled with teenage geniuses and offspring of rock stars, but what she really finds is something altogether unexpected. Descartes Academy is a school for the gifted...Gifts of an extraordinary nature. As darkness looms in the corners of Descartes halls, Lake finds herself tossed into the middle of paranormal chaos, a chaos she has to face without the benefit of a Gift.
