When The Bell Rings, Run

At 10:17 a.m., an eleven-second blackout turns Evermore Academy into a nightmare. When the lights return, some students have awakened extraordinary powers, while others have transformed into bloodthirsty creatures. Trapped inside the prestigious boarding school with hundreds of infected students, seventeen-year-old Aurora Vale discovers that her body can adapt to almost anything, including the deadly infection spreading through the school. But there is something unusual about her. The creatures don’t just attack her. They recognise her. With the school descending into chaos, Aurora joins five other students with newly awakened abilities. Together, they must fight their way through the infected, uncover the secrets hidden beneath their school, and survive long enough to escape. But the deeper they investigate, the more disturbing the truth becomes. Evermore Academy is connected to a secret biotechnology organisation conducting experiments on human evolution, and the six students were never ordinary teenagers. They were selected. Their powers were part of an experiment, and Aurora is at its centre. Her classified file carries a terrifying name: PROJECT EVE — PRIMARY SUBJECT. As the infection spreads beyond the school, the creatures evolve, friendships crumble, and dangerous secrets threaten to destroy the group from within. Aurora must uncover the truth about her past and her connection to the organism before it takes control of her. But what if she isn’t the cure? What if she is the reason the apocalypse exists? At Evermore Academy, survival is only the beginning.
