But then one day, a mysterious new property owner shows up at the academy. And weeks later, all the kids, the ones he thought had escaped Riverbrook, return. And to his horror, the blonde-haired girl returns, too. The new owner claims the experiments on the kids are over. But Dieran knows it’s a lie. Now is his chance to redeem himself. The only problem is, ever since he attacked the doctor, he’s been unable to make contact with the living world.
