Jonathan Evergreen wanted nothing more than to restore old books, not become part of one. After being disowned by his family, he’s barely surviving at an elite Vermont college—until his trusted advisor vanishes and a new professor, Dacian Bathory, steps into his life. Brilliant, magnetic, and unsettling, Dacian seems to know more about Jonathan than he should.
Drawn together by shared secrets and an ancient missing book, their connection deepens even as strange horrors creep across campus: vanished students, bloodless corpses, and dreams that blur into memory. Every clue points back to Dacian—and to a hunger Jonathan can’t resist.
Caught between desire and danger, Jonathan must decide whether love can survive the truth—or if it’s already claimed his soul.
