From the USA TODAY bestselling author of Fairydale, dark academia and gothic romance meet in this haunting stand-alone filled with centuries-old secrets, dangerous alliances, and obsessive love that stands the test of time.

In Radcliffe, perfection is a mask. And Sinclair Arnoult wears his far too well. Petra Valentine has always been an outsider. Trapped in a world of wealth and privilege that barely tolerates her, she’s spent her life fading into the background—until one reckless night at a party changes everything. A fleeting, drunken mistake ties her to him.

Sinclair Arnoult is Radcliffe’s golden boy. Star athlete, top student, and heir to a family name that carries weight in every corner of town. With his easy smiles and effortless charm, he’s untouchable. Perfect.

But when a slew of ritualistic murders force them together as they try to unravel Radcliffe’s twisted past, Petra realizes Sin is tied to something far more sinister than just a privileged legacy.

The man everyone worships is hiding dangerous truths—about his past, about the town, and about her. He swears he’ll protect her. He swears he’d never hurt her. But in Radcliffe, devotion and destruction look a lot like the same thing.
