The University of York — an academic institution of medium reputation, drawing in hundreds of students every year. Some come to study, some come to party, some come because it seemed like a good idea at the time. Whatever the reason, the theme remains the same — University is where you find yourself and, if you’re extremely lucky, others like you. Sounds simple enough. It isn’t. Because York isn’t just a University. It’s something else, something darker, something infinitely more strange — and something that’s going to tarnish the lives twelve bright young students forever. They’ll grow, they’ll change, they’ll die and they’ll go quite, quite mad in between. And not for any of the normal reasons. Because gifts have been given, curses granted. They have been made more than human; given abilities beyond the ken of ordinary man. When they finally work this out, they might think of it as a good thing. They might think themselves tasked to help the helpless, protect the innocent, save mankind. They’re wrong. Many games are being played. Nobody knows the rules. Only one thing is certain: no amount of Buffy the Vampire Slayer could have prepared them for what happens next. It’s not just a University. It’s a world of its own.
