An unusual girl. An enigmatic man. An ancient castle. What could go wrong?

An outcast her entire life, Corvina Clemm is left adrift after losing her mother. When she receives an admission letter from the exclusive University of Verenmore, she takes it as a sign from the universe. Instead, she finds a secluded castle on a wind-scoured mountain where time feels like a stopped clock.

The silver-eyed Devil of Verenmore, Vad Deverell keeps himself a closed book, but knows everything that happens at the university. A part-time literature professor, he’s trailed by whispers that he may be responsible for a student’s death. He is a man Corvina shouldn’t want—and at Verenmore, wanting is its own kind of transgression.

They shouldn’t have caught each other’s eye. They cannot be. But Verenmore has a way of binding the living to its dead. Every five years, someone vanishes into the mountain’s silence, and Corvina can feel the castle fixing its attention on her. Vad needs to stay close not knowing what the truth may awaken.

And so begins a tale of the mysterious, the morbid, the macabre, and a deep love that blossoms in the unlikeliest of places.
