In this modern day and age everyone needs an education, even the creatures that go bump in the night. But it's a little hard for a half demon to walk down the halls of Harvard without a few terrified looks and more than one terrified scream. So where is the modern witch, demon spawn, fae born, or newly changed vampire to go?

Welcome to Arkwright University! Your first day starts today and you are not alone in your adventures into the world of higher education. Just as old and illustrious as other ivy league schools across the country, Arkwright has a long tradition of offering the best education to the hidden supernatural community. Hidden in upstate New York, it also manages to boast the best location for those who are 'gifted' to learn to interact with the normal population as a whole with day trips to New York City.

Unwanted, unloved -- these are apt descriptors for the boys and girls who come to live in Pan's Treehouse. Promised a better life and a family of sorts, their unknown role is as pawns in a centuries-long war between a band of unruly youths and a legion of undead pirates. Peter Pan is their prince in this war, and his Lost boys play the role of his generals, sworn to protect the imaginaries in their charge. In exchange for this protection - as well as everlasting life and the love they were once denied - they are expected to fulfill the terms of the blood oath: whenever a Lost needs or desires, an imaginary must allow him to feed. A small price to pay when darkness looms ahead.

All must prepare for a war unlike any Neverland has seen, for the newly arisen captain of the pirate ship The Devil's Whore awaits... and he has a blood contract of his own to fulfill.
