There are secrets she must uncover. There are secrets she must keep.

There, she soon discovers Olivia is only one of many girls who have disappeared at Mortimer, and vows to uncover the dark forces responsible. Even if it means using herself as bait.

But whilst Caz is obsessed with Salem, he is far from the most dangerous thing at Mortimer…
