"The only monster to stake its claim was the one winking in her reflection”

When Aurelia’s father meets his untimely demise, her purpose dies with him.

Thrust into Vanderbel Academy she knows no one. Nothing is as it seems. Not even her unexpected roommate Veronica Lancet; who seems to be keeping secrets of her own.

Are the voices that haunt Aurelia somehow interlaced with the mystery? Or has her sanity finally given way?
