As Thomas's designer drug-induced blackouts give way to a sinister vioce inside his head, news of a vicious hate crime has students at the Marlowe School on edge. Thomas can't escape the sickening realization that Madame Vileroy is far more sinister and powerful than your average wicked stepmother--and has made him a victim of a horrifying supernatural plan."
