The Sisters of Dorley
The Sisters of Dorley is a series of novels written by Alyson Greaves.
Set on the campus of the fictional Royal College of Saint Almsworth (known colloquially as All Saints, or simply Saints) in the city of Almsworth, the novels relate the story, past and present, of a forced feminization programme operating from a hidden basement below Dorley Hall, a privately-owned dormitory for girls. The series begins with a focus on Stephanie, a closeted transgender girl looking for clues as to the disappearance of her childhood mentor and friend seven years prior, and Christine, a girl in the final year of the Dorley programme. As the story unfolds and its scope expands beyond Dorley Hall, several other characters' viewpoints are brought into narrative focus, outlining the history of Dorley Hall and its programme, and providing the backstory for those caught in its convolutions.

Welcome to Dorley Hall
The first book in the series, consisting of chapters 1-15, was published for print and ebook on 30 May 2022. The book's synopsis reads:
Mark Vogel is like the older brother Stefan Riley never had, until one day he disappears, and Stefan has to adapt to life without him. But, one year later, when he runs into a girl who looks near-identical to Mark, Stefan becomes obsessed. He discovers that other boys have disappeared, too, dozens over the years, most of them students of the Royal College of Saint Almsworth, many of them troubled or unruly before their disappearance.
What is happening to these boys? Who are the handful of women on campus who bear a striking resemblance to some of those who went missing? And what is the connection to the mysterious Dorley Hall?
Stefan works hard to get into the Royal College for one reason and one reason only: to find out exactly what happened to the women who live at Dorley Hall, and to get it to happen to him, too.
