Jane Fern is the perfect student. Disciplined, obedient, and tightly controlled by her wealthy but ruthless parents. On the night of her birthday, one act of rebellion-sneaking out to celebrate-ends in a nightmare. Jane is kidnapped and held captive in a world she never knew existed.
A world she was born into.
She wakes in a world that feels both opulent and ominous where nothing is said outright, yet everything feels intentional. The people around her act like she doesn't belong, and yet they look at her like she does. And then there's Louis, her captor. Calm, unreadable, and far too close. The more she resists, the more entangled she becomes.
As days blur into nights in a world of velvet and venom, Jane realizes that this is more than a random crime.
Some secrets aren't buried...they're waiting, hidden behind an enigmatic smile you should never fall for.
