Ally is just your regular sixteen year old girl, or so she thought. She has lived her whole life being a normal human being. But, when she discovers a white mark on her hip, her whole life changes. She is taken away to the Baeing Academy, school for all Baeings- people who have transformed into vampires, demons, shape shifters, fairies and hybrids. She is way out of her depth, and struggles to deal with her new change. Add in a unusual boy who she falls in love with, and this year will be the hardest Ally will ever deal with...

Seventeen-year-old April Parker wakes up in an underground facility, a shock bracelet on her wrist and a five-day countdown on the clock. Dozens of other teens share her inexplicable fate, but their unseen captors never intervene no matter how brutal conditions become. When the ruthless - and unnervingly magnetic - Marcus seizes control, April's trauma-forged instinct is to lay low. But protecting her friends drives her to bargain with the boy she should fear most - a boy whose reality fractures with every tick. Then the countdown ends, and the real terror begins. Powers ignite. Alliances shatter. And predators are born. And with a saboteur among them determined to keep the doors closed forever, escaping what comes next may be the only way to survive it.
