In this school, the most dangerous thing you can do is look the other way.

Lauren Whittaker desperately needs a sanctuary. After a career-ruining scandal, securing a teaching position at L'Institut Montherlant—an elite, highly secretive alpine finishing school in Switzerland—offers the perfect escape. Headmistress Jacqueline Fletcher demands only one thing in exchange for the lucrative and secure position: absolute compliance. No disruptions. No questions.

But the centuries-old building is hiding a secret built into its very bones—an engineered cold legacy everyone pretends isn’t there.

When the ambient temperature in Lauren’s classroom begins to violently plummet and her students fall into synchronized, terrifying trances, Lauren leans on her training—evidence, patterns, systems—to explain it away. Mass hysteria. Carbon monoxide poisoning. Faulty architecture. She will use any rationalization necessary to avoid confronting the administration and jeopardizing her fresh start.

Reason, however, cannot explain the black ice spreading across her floorboards or the frostbitten entity draining the heat from the school’s walls. A student is missing, and the entity walking the halls at night doesn't just haunt—it hunts. It feeds on guilt, and it specifically targets those who are complicit in the school's dark history.

Trapped by a catastrophic, unseasonal blizzard with a supernatural force demanding payment and a headmistress willing to kill to protect her reputation, Lauren must make a choice. She can keep her head down, follow the rules, and freeze to death—or she can weaponize her own guilt to expose the truth.

The Complicity Engine is a chilling supernatural thriller where silence is deadly, and the ghosts aren't the only monsters in the dark.
