Seraphina Wite
Twenty-year-old biochemistry student. Quiet, razor-smart, stubborn in a way that scares her professors. She works nights in the city's forensic toxicology lab through a confidential internship she was never technically qualified for.
Dr. Monet Holloway
Thirty-four. The new supervisor of the forensic lab. Brilliant, dangerously composed, and the youngest forensic pathologist the department has ever hired. He carries secrets in his silence and grief behind his eyes.
Updated Story Premise
Seraphina is balancing university exams, research, and dead bodies - until Monet Holloway arrives and flips her predictable routine upside down. He becomes her direct supervisor. He's strict, unreadable, and makes her feel something she has no business feeling.
And then their first case together lands on the metal table.
A body with an impossible chemical signature - a compound Seraphina recognizes from her own university's restricted research vault.
When she tells Monet what she sees, he shuts down.
"This compound does not leave university grounds," he says.
"And no one outside the development team should know it exists."
But Seraphina is part of the development team.
And someone used her credentials to access the vault.
She's being framed - and Monet knows it.
Biochemistry students connected to Seraphina's program are disappearing.
The compound found in the victims was part of a neurological augmentation study shut down years ago - a project infamous for unethical experimentation.
Someone brought it back.
Someone linked to her university.
Someone using her name.
The deeper they dig, the more Seraphina becomes the prime suspect.
And the more Monet risks everything - his job, his ethics, his carefully constructed life - to keep her safe.
