Alden Voss survived being a royal bodyguard. He survived becoming a teacher. He did NOT sign up to survive summer camp.
What should have been a simple camping trip of roasting marshmallows, teaching basic survival skills, and maybe preventing Milo from accidentally enchanting the lake turns deadly when ancient magic stirs beneath the water.
Someone's been tampering with old spirit bindings. Something hungry is waking up. And Alden's stuck in the wilderness with a group of magically gifted teenagers, a mysterious cook with too many secrets, and a growing certainty that his quiet retirement is officially over.
The students think this is an adventure. Alden thinks they're all going to die.
He's probably right about one of those things.
