Instrument of Peace

Raised in the world-leading Academy of magic rather than by his absentee parents, Mitch has come to see it as home. His peaceful life is shattered when a devastating earthquake strikes and almost claims his little brother's life. This was no natural phenomenon, but a result of the ongoing war between Heaven and Hell. To protect the Academy, a teacher makes a contract with a fallen angel, unwittingly bringing down The Twisted Curse on staff and students. The curse starts small, with truancy and over-reacting teachers, but before long the bad behaviour escalates to vandalism and attempted murder. When the first death comes, Mitch unites with the only other students who, like him, appear to be immune to the curse; together they are determined to find the cause of the problem and stop it.
