When Corvina arrives at the mysterious University of Verenmore nestled in an ancient castle, she's hoping for a fresh start—but instead finds herself drawn into a web of dark secrets and a century-old disappearance that demands answers. Vad, the enigmatic professor who knows far more than he should about the castle's dangers, tries to keep his distance, but their connection is undeniable and impossible to ignore. As Corvina gets closer to uncovering the truth behind the ritual disappearances, Vad realizes he'll do anything to protect her—even if it means revealing the darkness he's been hiding. This is a richly atmospheric gothic romance where beauty finds its match in shadow, and love becomes the most dangerous discovery of all.
