When Luce arrives at a remote boarding school in Savannah, she's immediately drawn to the mysterious and frustratingly distant Daniel—a guy who seems determined to keep her at arm's length, which of course only makes her more curious about what he's hiding. As Luce navigates the strange dynamics of her new school and the undeniable pull she feels toward Daniel, she begins uncovering hints of something bigger, something that challenges everything she thought she knew about reality and herself. This is a swoony paranormal romance that will have you obsessing over the chemistry between these two, even as dark secrets start to unravel. Perfect for readers who love impossible love stories with supernatural twists and plenty of atmospheric tension.
Reading soundtrack
Haunting indie rock and ethereal alternative pop that captures forbidden longing and mysterious secrets. Think dark academia meets celestial tension—brooding guitars, atmospheric vocals, and achingly tender moments. Moody, atmospheric, slightly gothic but emotionally vulnerable.
