Elliot Brushwood has no friends at school, and no friends at home either, coming in second to his brother Colby despite being older, unable to focus in school, bullied and side-lined, and too emotional to know how to fight back, it seems as though everything is out of his control.
Arran King is the opposite, effortlessly in charge with an unfortunate reputation, a layabout, ruthless, and a murderer...
There's nothing Arran dislikes more than weakness. Maybe that's why there was no way the two characters would ever meet.
But everything changed when Elliot hit the water, breaking the freezing cold surface of the Lake Ransom, his undue baptism seems to change him forever.
Empty to his core, Elliot ventures out at night, to recover the lost bits of his soul.
And he might just meet a demon on his way.
Elliot never had friends, he's always been bullied and his parents are both drunkards with a bad temper. All his life he's just dealt with the problems and toughed it out. When he moves to a new house and new school nothing really changes. He still gets bullied, he's still an outcast and his family still sucks. He goes on to live as usual. Then a bully who usually ignored him starts to pick on him more than usual and in very uncomfortable ways. Elliot tries to ignore what he does but, it gets harder everyday. Then one day, he does somthing that Elliot can't just say was natual, he can't say he saw it coming. He's scared and doesn't know what to do. What will happen if this keeps up?
