But things have changed since Lacey visited the Ainsbrough manor house when she was a kid. There are the large black gates that surround the perimeter, high surveillance cameras and the strange rules enlisted by the head doctor of the experiment, Dr. Leif Weber. And as Lacey soon discovers, the gates and the high security are not to keep them safe, but to keep one dangerous student from ever leaving....Brasen.
When Lacey unexpectly meets Brasen in her mother's hidden library, she unveils the secret that is imprisoning the mysterious and handsome teenage boy in the left wing of the house. She formulates a plan to help Brasen escape during the Halloween dance, but she will need to enlist the help of the other students, including Dr. Weber's new protégé, Raiph, who is her date for the dance and also Brasen's former best friend and current enemy.
Despite Lacey's growing feelings for Brasen, his blood may be the only thing to keep her and her fellow students alive. Can she sacrifice her own life to save the man she may truly love?
This novel is a modern gothic romance, reminiscent of Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre, and will take you into the darkness of the Ainsbrough Manor House and into the depths of the heart and soul.
