College. A treasured time of transition, from youth to young adulthood. New lessons, new responsibilities, new distractions. Often one of the best times in life. Unless your chosen institution of higher learning is a place where the bullies might be werewolves, the teachers might be sadists and all the pretty girls are deadly. That kind of school requires a special kind of student. Someone with the skills and power to survive. Someone like Declan O'Carroll.
