In a world where you're defined by class can anything else exist? "At the age of 16, each male and female must attend the earliest 'Summoning'. From there the ideal match is generated for each individual in a process known as the 'Sorting'. Once a pair have been matched, they will reside to the male's dwelling to live out their lives in harmony. If an individual is not matched at a Summoning, they must continue to attend until their match is Sorted. Failure to comply with these terms shall result in immediate imprisonment." - President Mangold ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In the early ages both the caste system and the 'Sorting' were instituted. Society is based on a class system and the number of a particular caste branded on the left shoulder of each human. The caste system is rated from 1 to 5. Elle Silver is a 3. As is her twin sister, her mother and her father. On her 16th birthday, Elle and her sister Ana are summoned. Hoping to follow in the footsteps of her mother and father, Elle is anxious to find out who her match is and the caste he is from. Because as the her mother has always said: 'You would hope for your sake that you're not matched to a 1 or a 5.' Stereotypes are often accurate but occasionally they can be more wrong then you'll ever understand.

Imagine your Junior year in high school; you just got a nice car, your grades are stable, and you've finally gotten friendly with some hotties... But then disaster strikes. You end up being shipped off to your grandparents' house after your parents are killed in a car crash. It was supposed to be the last day of school, but felt like the last day of your life. You know your grandparents are well known for being the weird ones around town, if they even leave the house. Oh, and their house isn't the nice little cute house at the end of the neighbors' street; its fifty miles from any form of civilization on a 2,000 plus acre land plot. All forest, except for the four mile long drive way. Its a peaceful notion, to be connected with nature and such, but there's a catch to this horrific story: Your grandparents' land is haunted by an evil entity set on revenge. Its Lucy Lessington's duty to figure out why this so-called 'Slenderman' wants to terrorize this land so much, with the company of her little companion- Louis - whilst attempting to keep her mind in the process.
