The Lost Name Society
In the heart of the Cotswolds, your name isn't just an identity. It’s a target.
Five strangers arrive at boarding school expecting the usual academic grind. Instead, they find a headmistress who is anything but human and a curriculum designed for survival.
The rules are simple: compete in a series of twisted, deadly games, or be erased.
With nothing in common but their unusual names, this misfit group must navigate a landscape where the supernatural meets the cut-throat. As the body count rises, they realise the only way to survive is to stop playing by the demon's rules.
In a world where fitting in means losing yourself, they must reclaim the power of their names, the ones they were born with and the ones they’ve chosen, to tear the school down.
Winning is everything. Losing is eternal.
