A teacher must protect his students from an island that devours its young.

When Veran returns to Daemonsford, the remote island of his childhood, he wants revenge. His teen brother’s death five years ago was no accident. And Veran will burn down the whole island to find the truth.

Taking a job as the island’s new teacher, Veran quickly notices something wrong with the Year Ten students. Forced to mimic animal sounds during roll call, they are shunned and brutalised by the islanders. As Veran breaks through their hostility, he realises a terrible truth.

His brother had endured the same.

Digging deeper, Veran uncovers an approaching ritual—one that terrifies the students. He races to protect them and unearth the island’s darkest secrets.

But the islanders whisper. They say the Devil is watching him, that he’s asking too many questions, provoking its wrath, and that he really should leave—

—before the island eats him too.
