Every small town had that one family. 
    
    That one family parents huddled their kids away from when they passed by, whispering under their breath.
    
    Here, that family was the Griffins. 
    
    An ancient family too rich, mysterious and isolated for their own good.
    
    But there was something more about them. Something the naked eye wouldn't see, the most attentive ear couldn't hear.
    
    Youngest son Demetri Griffin had just transferred into Lilith Hayne's school
    ...or just returned once again.
    
    But this is no cliché.
    
    There are secrets. Secrets that only - by mere coincidence and inescapable danger - were revealed to her of all people.
    
    With no other choice but to stay at the Griffin's manor, Lilith discovers a world that she'd never had dared dream of.
    
    Just as her mother had always warned Lilith,
    
    "The world isn't as it seems. One day you will understand. Don't trust anyone. Don't look them in the eye too long. And most of all, never ever fall in love with those who linger."
    
    Nothing is as it seems... not even yourself.
