About this ebook

They call it the Academy. A secluded, cliff-top mansion overlooking the rugged Pacific coast. A school for children gifted -- or cursed -- with extraordinary minds. Children soon to come under the influence of an intelligence even more brilliant than their own -- and unspeakably evil. For within this mind a dark plan is taking form. A plan so horrifying, no one will believe it. No one but the children. And for them it is already too late. Too late, unless one young student can resist the seductive invitation that will lead... into the Shadows.

Ratings and reviews

I like this book very much. Typical Saul story. But the spelling errors are astounding and very distracting. If the book was free, I would not mention it but to pay full price for this sloppy editing is hard to take.

Typical of John Saul, something strange is happening to the children. I love his writing style. I've read quite a few Saul stories and this is one of my favorites.

First book I ever read by him. Chilling and wonderful with lots of plot twists and turns. To this day he remains my favourite Author.
