a secret love. a powerful clique. a hidden world. it is only a matter of surviving....Popular working-class boy, Mark Salinger keeps his feelings for the wealthy, but scorned, Rory Pearson, hidden. The powerful clique that runs their school, Ambrose Finch Academy, would cold-shoulder him if they knew. At a Halloween dance, their secret gets out and the Squad decides to teach them a lesson. The prank goes too far and puts Rory and Mark into a coma. While the Squad schemes to cover their butts, Rory and Mark regain consciousness and try to get help, unaware their bodies are in a coma. They get separated and Rory finds herself in a place called Ravine, a place beset by poisons, cunning monsters and a Goblin Hunter by the name of Maigret. Making her way back to Mark will take every ounce of courage she has. And she hasn't got much. After writing historical literary fiction, N J Dorrian took a right turn into YA speculative fiction. Her novels all have a supernatural mystery element, some romance and a thrilling conclusion. Clean language and no gore or love triangles because life is too short. She enjoys reading gripping suspenseful novels with characters who don't annoy her. So she wrote one.
