“I fell in love with this alluring romance right away, set in dark academia with a secret society, a murder/mystery, and a rivals-to-lovers story. The depth and complexity of the world created is unique and unparalleled! Salem is passionate and so easy to connect with and empathize with, and Caz is intense, powerful, and passionate. They were two souls meant to find each other, and together they are complete!! This magnificent book is definitely a must-read!!! ”

“Intense and powerful academia romance with some dark elements and plenty of spice. Starts of slow but it is worth the wait! It will keep you guessing and wanting more.”
— Anne • The Yakima Book Co & The Traveling Book Bus
A twisted Hades and Persephone meets the enthralling suspense of The Secret History in a new scorchingly hot dark academia tale of unforgettable, legendary love from RuNyx, the New York Times bestselling author of Gothikana.
There are secrets she must uncover.
There are secrets he must keep.
Salem Salazar is a Mortimer University legacy and the black sheep of her scandal-ridden, wealthy family. Obsessed with death, she arrives at Mortimer on the hunt for answers about what happened to her perfect, missing older sister. There, she discovers that her sister is far from the only girl to have gone missing at Mortimer. Salem will do anything to discover what dark forces are killing Mortimer's students... even if it means using herself as bait.
And Cazimir van der Waal has caught her scent. He has a dark past, a hidden agenda, and a ravenous appetite for a beautiful, golden-eyed girl who seems determined to risk her life. But he is far from the most dangerous thing at Mortimer.
In this magnificent, steamy dark academia romance filled with taut suspense, sparks will fly, rivals will become lovers, terrible truths will be revealed, and an epic love will change everything.
