Plot summary

Raised in an orphanage, siblings Sophie and Sebastian carry a dark, fatal secret: in order to survive they have to feed from the life energy of other people. If they do not stop in time their prey ignites and turns to ashes. Sofie and Sebastian try to find answers to what they are, which leads them to Ottmannsgaard, a gloomy and traditional boarding school.
