The Janitor of Horizon Academy
A Dystopian Boarding School Story

About this book:

Horizon Academy is a machine for breaking children into weapons. Its halls hum with surveillance, its curriculum erases dissent, and its cadets march in perfect, hollow lockstep. Silas Vance has spent six years scrubbing its floors, invisible in his grey coveralls, playing the fool while memorizing every blind spot, broken circuit, and loose stone in the fortress walls. He knows the Academy is rotting from the inside—and he's the only one with the tools to expose the cracks.

When a cadet spots a teacher's fatal error and doesn't look away, and another risks a beating to shield a janitor from punishment, Silas recognizes the spark the system failed to stamp out. But the Headmaster has brought in Directorate Wardens, the perimeter is tightening, and something in the sublevels is waking up. To protect the few minds still capable of thought, Silas will have to stop cleaning up the Academy's messes and start dismantling its foundation.

*The Janitor of Horizon Academy* is a tense, atmospheric dystopian thriller where the most dangerous person in a totalitarian school isn't the Headmaster or the guards—it's the man holding the mop, the master key, and the map to every secret the regime buried in the dark.
