In war-torn England inSeptember 1941 thirteen-year-old   Harry Lockwood steps off the train and embarks on his new life at Markham College, a boys' boarding school near   London. With his father stationed in North Africa and his   mother working in a munitions factory a hundred miles away, he is on his own. Soon, Harry finds himself fighting   for survival in a new world where the misuse of power by   sadistic prefects creates a closed society ruled by fear and violence.
