For nearly a century, children have disappeared from Randwick State Primary School – and no one has stopped it.
When another child is taken, a burned-out teacher, already on borrowed time, refuses to look away.
Peter Young was supposed to keep his head down and survive the year. Instead, he uncovers a truth buried beneath silence and fear: something has ruled Randwick Primary from the shadows for decades. It watches. It waits. And it takes – while the staff turn a blind eye.
Only one man believes him. Martin Harwood, the new arrival with dangerous instincts and secrets of his own, sees the threat immediately. Together they discover the Black Spots – dead spaces where reality fractures and the missing are held, slowly erased until they become part of the school itself.
The latest disappearance was punishment. A warning aimed directly at Peter.
To save the child, Peter and Martin must step into the Black Spots and confront an enemy no one wants to name – before the ultimate lesson in fear is complete.
The dark took them. Now he’s coming to take them back.
