Summary
{The highly (?) anticipated sequel of The Aldersgate School Files}
University; tall order at the best of times, let alone when it’s Cambridge.
Everything is going exactly to plan - Any day now River would be getting scouted for M.I.5, but in the meantime, a History and Politics degree from St John’s College Cambridge wouldn’t hurt, and even better, his boyfriend is studying right beside him. What he hadn’t counted on is that people aren’t as kind in the real world as back home, and all of a sudden life isn’t so easy all the time.
James can’t believe his luck! He proved his dad wrong and secured himself a place in St John’s studying Political Science and no one could ever take that away from him. Even if River is acting kind of weird.
It’s sink or swim time for River and James.

Well Fuck.
River's whole life exploded last term, and now he's back to being one of the losers. He doesn't even care that no one thinks he's cool anymore, he's more concerned with how he'd gonna fail all his exams and end up a bum for life.
That being said, there is a certain someone that's been on his mind...

Summary
So, River's a Vampire now. Luckily he's trained for situations like this and he's dealing with it really maturely.
Nevermind the fact half his team have been kidnapped, or that the Park want him dead, all he can think about is that nagging in his gut...that insatiable yearning...that feeling that just won't go away. He's hungry.

Summary
The boy is younger than him, pale, dirty hair flopping over half his face, a mole at his mouth, and he looks like Bertrand. There’s something rabid beneath his gaze, but when Père touches his jaw he follows easily, lifting his head like an obedient dog.
Or; Isobel drops River off at Les Arbres instead of his grandparents. Both everything and nothing is changed — Patrice most of all.
