She was supposed to survive University.

That was the plan. Get the scholarship. Keep her head down. Ignore the strange symbol she's drawn her entire life without knowing why. Pretend the nightmares, missing memories, and impossible feelings mean nothing.

Then one night at a club drenched in blood and silver lights, a monster looked at her like he already knew her.

And said: She's mine.

By morning, the world Lena thought she understood is gone. Vaelthorn University isn't a normal school. Creatures she thought belonged in myths walk the campus in daylight wearing expensive coats and dangerous smiles.

And Caelum Ashgrave, the terrifying man with mercury eyes, keeps appearing everywhere she turns. He says he needs her. He won't explain why.

The deeper Lena falls into Vaelthorn's hidden world, the more the questions multiply. Why does the pendant her mother gave her pulse like a warning? Why are her childhood symbols starting to mean something? Why does Caelum look at her like she's the answer to fifteen years of searching?

And who built the scholarship that brought her here in the first place?

He's been waiting eighteen years.
