Trapped beneath a blindfold in the pitch-black of her bedroom, she was entirely at the mercy of a nameless stranger-a dominant figure in the dark who left her breathless, bound, and craving a touch she should have feared. She never saw his face. She only remembers his lethal touch, the crimson flash of his eyes, and a chilling, handsome laugh. ​The next morning, the academy introduces Maximilian Ambrose, the flawlessly handsome, brutally powerful new transferee from the world's most elite university. ​The moment their eyes meet across the crowded auditorium, Renesme's blood runs cold. He looks hauntingly familiar. His presence triggers the exact same electric spark she felt the night before. But as the entire school fawns over Maximilian's elite status, Renesme is left trapped in a spiral of paranoia. ​Is Maximilian Ambrose truly the dangerous creature who invaded her bed? Or is she just losing her mind? ​Every hallway is now a trap, every classroom a battlefield, and every stolen glance across the room a silent threat. Whoever that man was, he is playing a dark game-and Renesme is right at the center of it.
