When the murder of his classmate at an elite boarding school seems to be forgotten overnight, seventeen-year-old Douglas must confront centuries of secrets in the school's past and a vengeful creature in the forest surrounding the campus.

Regent Academy has a long and storied history in Winslow, Vermont, as does the forest that surrounds it. The school is known for molding teens into leaders, but its history is far more nefarious. Then a student is murdered-- and by the next day no one remember him having existed, except for student Douglas Jones and the groundskeeper's son, Everett Everley. Search for the truth, Douglas awakens a horror hidden within the forest: a vengeful creature seeking blood as payment for a debt more than 300 years in the making. -- adapted from jacket
