Idlewild by Nick Sagan

I’m not dead. A dim realization but an important one -

I remember the shock and -
and nothing.

Ten children are about to come of age. One of them, a young man, is suddenly startled awake. He has no memory. His surroundings mean nothing to him. All he knows for certain is that someone is trying to kill him.

Unsure whom he can trust, he is reacquainted with his peers, all of whom are being trained at a unique school run by the enigmatic Maestro. As he tries to uncover the identity of his would-be killer, it becomes clear that the ramifications of his investigation are far greater than he could ever have imagined - that it’s more, much more, than just his life that is at stake. Fierce, smart and stylish in equal measure, Idlewild fuses imagination with wit to produce an unforgettable debut.
