Something Wicked This Way Comes by Amy Rae Durreson
As an orphaned child, Leon owed his survival to his school. Now an adult and a teacher at that same school, he's determined to repay the debt. When an old boy leaves them a ruined orphanage in the Scottish Borders, he heads north to assess the mysterious old building, Vainguard.
But Vainguard's history is more terrible than he could imagine. As Leon explores, he discovers that his own tragic past is entwined with Vainguard's, and with the stories of all the children who have died there over the years. Joining forces with local blacksmith Niall, who is still mourning his own daughter, Leon starts to peel away the layers of secrets that hide the truth about Vainguard.
But something is watching his every move—something ancient, bloodthirsty, and ready to kill again...
