Regent
What if the cost for finding who you are is losing your own mind? And the only way to hang onto the one thing you need most is to lose everything else?
In the spirit of Turtles All the Way Down (John Green) and Shutter Island (Dennis Lehane) comes a mind-bending, soul-searching novel of what it means to be alive.
Justin has a dangerous gift. He can see someone's past through his drawings. When he's arrested for arson and thrown into Regent, a psychiatric boarding school for delinquent teens, the gates are locked behind him. The students, oddly contented. And Justin is convinced after the second week the doctor is messing with his mind.
But when his "new" friend claims to know him and a past he doesn't remember Justin's gift to draw the memories of others becomes the only way to reveal the truth.
But if he uses his gift once more to unlock his own past, he might also unleash a devastating future.
