Ninth House meets A Study in Drowning in this suspensful debut following a burned out grad student on a supernatural revenge quest.

Something waits for you in the darkness. And it already knows your name…

At Auchter House, a mysterious university hidden away in the Scottish Highlands, only the most arcane of subjects are studied and only excellence will do. Auchter can teach you to speak forgotten languages, walk back in time, remove objects from your dreams and uncover secrets lost to hearsay and myth. It can also give you back your life.

Before Auchter Sam Sheridan was depressed, isolated and institutionalized three times before her eighteenth birthday. The university has given her everything - friends, purpose, a place that finally feels like home - and she knows that she could not live without it.

But then Sam’s best friend goes missing. And no one will believe her when she knows who to blame. Forced onto a rescue mission that will take her across continents, into the path of a mysterious hitman and in and out of dreams, Sam will discover exactly how far she will go to protect the ones she loves - and how much she can even trust in her own mind.

On the other side of every dream is a nightmare. Welcome to Auchter House.
