Leda Shadow finds herself alone at Malcroix Bones Academy at the beginning of winter break. Caelum Bones, her sometimes enemy, sometimes ally, and recently, her sometimes something else, remains in hospital after his own father nearly killed him. Her friends all scatter to the wind, or so she thinks, until a group of them begin to coalesce among those who stayed behind. When Caelum returns to campus, they form a sort of “Holiday Club,” digging into archives both inside and outside the school for a dangerous and secret project led by Lucifer “Luc” Mocking, one of Leda’s closest friends. Meanwhile, events outside the school’s walls are heating up, with governments across Magique growing increasingly unstable after the capture of the charismatic “face” of Dark Cathedral, Caelum’s infamous father, Malefic Bones. Violence erupts from their supporters, and calls for the release of the prisoners grows louder and more insistent. Then people begin to disappear. Before Magical law enforcement can find them, they always reappear, and claim to have no memory of where they were. Yet rumors circulate that they come back different. When Caelum decides to take matters into his own hands, and investigate these disappearances himself, it unlocks a sequence of events that will change Leda’s life, and his life, forever.
