Synopsis
Everlake Prep is a boarding school for the elite, and when a virus shuts the country down, its students are confined to campus. The narrator is locked in isolation with three boys who hate her: Saint, Kyan and Blake, who call themselves the Night Keepers.
Her father's name is all over the news, and the Night Keepers hold her responsible for what he did. They have taken on the role of the monsters in a Native American legend tied to the valley, and they act the part. She is drawn to them anyway.
Then she touches a sacred rock said to carry a curse that binds her as the Night Keepers' slave. She decides to play along. Her father has kept things about her hidden for years, and she knows she has to find a way out of the school.
As the pandemic spreads, the boys gain real power on campus, and even the teachers defer to them. The six feet distancing rule is the one thing keeping them off her. Her one ally is Coach Monroe, the brooding P.E. teacher, who has a grudge against the Night Keepers himself.
Her father trained her to survive the end of the world. Now she aims to use that training to break the boys who are making her life miserable, and the story turns on whether she can.
