"The greatest mysteries lie not in the unknown, but in what is hidden in plain sight."

With the secrets of her own bloodline haunting her, Reverie finds herself in the middle of a deadly hunt---a life so far from the one she left behind in Cerveteri, Italy, and an institution that hosts beings like her---a place where wisdom reigns and where the brightest of minds can become as twisted as the devils they seek to unmask.

Everything began with a death of an old professor. A buried truth. And a cryptic letter from her estranged father, sealed with an enigma of a citation etched onto the back of the envelope.

-A key of thought, not made of steel,
Shall crack the cipher and reveal.-

But little did she know that the letter was far more than simple correspondence---it was a summons, a warning, and a riddle all in one.

With her blood linked to an unspeakable legacy and a power she barely understands, now, Reverie is subjected into a game of puzzles and dark academia. In this place, alliances are fragile, trust is a double-edged gamble, and knowledge is as lethal as ignorance. Where every riddle may lead to a dead end, and every mystery they solve could cost them their own lives in exchange.

So as hidden truths unravel and unseen enemies close in, Reverie must outwit forces that seek to bring about their undoing. Because in a kind of world where survival depends upon solving a mystery---the most dangerous beings would be the ones who are willing to kill in order to keep a secret buried.
