Book One Somewhere hidden in the reaches of the Pacific Northwest is an island, and on that island is a school. This school is not like many others, nor are the students that attend it. One such new arrival is named August. He has no memories of who he is or where he came from - all he does know is that there is something strange about Stormgale Academy. Well, stranger than it already is. He and his new classmates must learn, adapt, and survive to make it through the academy, all the while trying to find out just what makes the school tick...and what dark sorts of secrets it harbors.
