A lush, foreboding dark academia romance where secrets, tragedy, and a love worth killing for live within the walls of a secluded university.
Gwendolyn University, prestigious and notoriously private, conceals itself in the remote mountains of northeastern Vermont. It provides a world class education and only asks for a few things return:
Work hard. Surrender your personal devices. Stay inside after midnight.
Attending Gwendolyn is an unrealized dream for Astra Corrigan. She turned them down and, years later, finds herself at the gates as an independent journalist, invited to stay on campus to do an exclusive feature on the murder of five students at the hands of a professor they never caught.
Astra expected to have rules of engagement to follow. She didn't expect a handler-the aloof and captivating Professor Dane Morgensen. Despite him thwarting her research efforts at every turn, she can't fight her growing attraction to the astronomy professor.
After two more students die and Astra's evidence vanishes, she discovers that something more sinister-and supernatural-might be at play with Gwendolyn and its cryptic faculty. She doesn't know if she can trust the man she shouldn't be falling in love with, either, but she must uncover the truth about Gwendolyn before she becomes a pawn in a battle of supernatural proportions.
