The Taste of Devotion

When 25-year-old culinary prodigy Seraphine "Sera" Vale is offered an exclusive apprenticeship under the enigmatic Dr. Hannibal Lecter, it feels like the opportunity of a lifetime. Sophisticated, brilliant, and respected in every circle that matters-Hannibal is everything she has ever wanted to become.

But Sera is hiding something.

Her mind is a labyrinth of whispers, shadows, and blood. She sees things that aren't there. Hears things no one else can. And when the urge to hurt takes hold, she turns it inward-scarring herself to keep others safe from the storm inside.

Hannibal doesn't fear her madness. He welcomes it.

What begins as admiration slowly twists into obsession-an intoxicating, dangerous bond between teacher and protégé. As secrets simmer beneath the surface and darkness coils around them, Sera begins to wonder: is Hannibal guiding her toward greatness... or leading her straight into the abyss?

And the most terrifying part?
She might not want to be saved.
