Yesterday, you found a new app on your phone, it doesn't open, you can't delete it and you don't know what it is. Tonight, you were awoken by an alert on your phone - it's the app notifying you of some very specific instructions.

Darkling Academy only has two rules. Number one; don't die on the first day. Number two; try not to die over the next three hundred and sixty five days.
Hayden Mikkelsen, a seventeen year old, already had enough to deal with as a teenager with a supernatural gift that she knows nothing about, but after she finds a mysterious app on her phone, her world is thrown into chaos as she stumbles across a hidden academy full of elves, witches and vampires.
You know, just all the things that could kill you without even trying.
And to top it all off, people from her home town, including her one of her best friends, have gone missing without any trace of where they could be.
Will Hayden be able to find them, whilst also trying to survive at her new school?
