𝗧𝗢𝗠 𝗥𝗜𝗗𝗗𝗟𝗘 is the coldhearted, charismatic murderer who hides behind smiles and good looks. But when he is given a bet that he can't make his academic rival, Adeline Carrow, fall in love with him in two weeks, his pride won't let him refuse. And besides, his crooked, nightmarish plans of star-crossed ruination and hellish monsters on earth, and his ruthless, never-ending pursuit of power, may benefit from this unexpectedly delicious aim that he now finds himself with...
𝗔𝗗𝗘𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗘 𝗖𝗔𝗥𝗥𝗢𝗪 is the beautiful, intelligent pureblood who struggles to keep up with her small, insignificant pureblood family's huge, devastating demands of a powerful husband, bringing wealth to the Carrows, and becoming attractive. Then she's given an ultimatum - find a husband in two weeks, or be cut off from her family completely. But how will she be able to find someone to give her heart to in such a small amount of time, and how will she avoid what she knows will inevitably, terribly come should she fail this venture that will decide either her continued, torturous survival...or her brutal demise?
---
They walk a dangerous tightrope between the dance of death and hate, and that of forbidden love. But there are darker, more heartless things at work, things of demons and terror that would destroy Adeline, should they come to pass. There are brutal consequences if she fails that involve the most damned of all places: the horrifying Night Realms, a twisted reality of occult and murder. And there are traumatic things buried inside her dark, silent mind, psychotic, screaming things that would rival even the darkest of men...which she will perhaps find in the one man she will come to thirst for, Tom Riddle.
