After losing her mother, outcast Corvina Clemm enrolls at the remote, secret-laden University of Verenmore, a gothic castle where students have mysteriously vanished every five years for over a century. She's drawn into a dangerous, forbidden entanglement with Vad Deverell, her enigmatic and brooding professor, as she digs into the campus's dark legends and her own unsettling past. What begins as insta-lust and secrecy spirals into a gothic mystery involving ritual sacrifice, bloodlines, and buried family history. The story blends dark academia atmosphere with an intensely physical romance and a supernatural-tinged whodunit.
