Seraphina Vale doesn't belong at Blackthorn University. A scholarship student among the heirs of powerful families, she expects cold shoulders and whispered judgments. She doesn't expect to find handwritten letters hidden inside ancient library books-letters that predict the future with terrifying accuracy. Letters that lead her to Caspian Wainwright. Dark, intelligent, and emotionally unreadable, Caspian seems connected to the mystery in ways he refuses to explain. As the predictions come true and bodies begin to fall, Seraphina finds herself pulled into a web of obsession, betrayal, and dangerous attraction. The serpent eats its own tail. But some secrets are worth dying for. "A slow-burn masterpiece of gothic tension and psychological complexity."
