description: James Spencer is hardly the typical troubled youth who ends up at Whisperwood School for Boys. Instead of hating the strict schedules and tight oversight by staff James blossoms quickly making friends and indulging in his love of writing while contemplating the merits of sneaking love poems to the elusive and aloof William Esher.The rumours about Williams sexuality and opium reliance are prime gossip material amongst the third years. Rumours that only further pique James' curiosity to uncover what William is really like beneath all that emotional armor. And when the normally collected William stumbles in one night shaken and ranting of ghosts... James is the only one who believes him.James himself has heard the nails dragging down his bedroom door and the sobs echoing in the halls at night. He knows others have too even if no one will admit it. The staff refuses to entertain such ridiculous tales and punishment awaits anyone who brings it up.Their fervent denial and the disappearance of students only furthers Jamess determination to find out what secrets Whisperwood is hiding... Especially if it means keeping William and himself from becoming the next victims.
