At Dunwraith College, the past is never truly buried. For centuries, students have vanished without explanation. Ritual symbols appear where none should exist. And the ruins of an old church are said to hold secrets no one survives uncovering. Rory Sinclair has made a career exposing the supernatural as fraud. As a paranormal forensic investigator, she dismantles cults, debunks rituals and proves that demons, curses and magic are nothing more than human desperation dressed up as myth. So when her former mentor disappears while investigating suspicious research at the infamous Dunwraith College, Rory assumes it's another academic scandal waiting to be exposed. Instead, she becomes the prison of something ancient... Nocturne, the Abyssal Sovereign, is trapped in the mind of the one woman who refuses to believe he exists. Rory isn't afraid of demons. She doesn't even believe in them. Unfortunately for her, the demon inside her is very real.
