About this book
At a summer academy, every wound treated in the old asylum vanishes—only to appear on the person who offered care.
Mitchell Brown arrives on scholarship for a summer programme in a converted asylum, where tending an injury within the oldest walls shifts the damage to the person who helps. When privileged students begin buying and selling this dangerous mercy, each act of care raises the human cost. With his roommate becoming a vessel for the dead superintendent, Mitchell must take responsibility for ending the haunting without becoming its final victim.
