The Prefect of Room 214

Elliot wakes in St. Jude's Academy for the Displaced with no memory of his death, only a crushing fear of the unknown. His roommate, Julian, provides a seductive shelter from the horrors of the Gray Realm, demanding absolute obedience in exchange for safety. But as Elliot surrenders his autonomy, he discovers that the comfort of his cage might be far worse than the monsters in the hall.
