Genre: Dark Romance/Psychological Drama Summary: Zariah (17, turning 18) is a brilliant but emotionally scarred sculptor from the south sent to Marae Institute, an elite boarding art school known for producing prodigies and hiding scandals. Haunted by a childhood accident, the recent suicide of her best friend and the death of her Mom, she arrives guarded, mute, and numb. Her only therapy is her clay where she shapes all the screams she can't say. Then she meets Elián Wolfe a 19-year-old painter, infamous, secretive and dangerously magnetic. He's on his final warning from Marae after being expelled from his last school. Rumors follow him: one girl swallowed pills after being with him, another disappeared. His hobby is to paint in the basement, alone always in red. He notices her before anyone else, watches her when she thinks she's invisible and he tells her, "Your hands are beautiful when they're shaking." When Zariah finally sees the painting Elián has been working on, it's her, broken and naked, covered in words from her personal journal. She realizes he's been inside her room, reading her diary, stealing her nightmares. But she doesn't run... Instead, she adds the final touch to the painting: Her own blood.

He watches her. He follows her. He knows her every move. To him, she isn't just a woman-she's the obsession, the one light in a world he'll burn down to possess. Livia Vale never wanted to be seen this closely. But the stranger who shadows her isn't a stranger anymore-he's in her life, her thoughts, her veins. Every warning sign tells her to run, yet every stolen glance pulls her deeper into his orbit. As his devotion twists into control and his love bleeds into obsession, she's forced to confront the truth: some cages are built not of iron but of desire. In a game of predator and prey, can she resist the darkness that craves her-or will she surrender to a passion that was never meant to set her free? ⚠️ Content Warning: This book contains dark psychological themes, including stalking, obsession, manipulation, emotional control, anxiety, paranoia, and toxic relationships.
