At Blackmoor University, Marceline thought she was starting over. New city. New campus. A chance to disappear into books and late-night coffee.
But then she sees him.
Alaric Duskborne
Too perfect to be real. Too dangerous to ignore.
He watches her like he already owns her-like he's been waiting.
And when she stumbles across a forgotten journal in the library's archives, her life unravels. Every page is written in his hand. Every page is about her. Her childhood scars. Her secrets. Her life-documented in flawless detail, decades before she was even born.
The last page is blank. Waiting.
Alaric isn't just a predator with teeth and hunger in his veins. He's a man bound to her by something far older and far darker than fate. She isn't just his obsession-she may be the reason he exists at all.
Now Marceline has two choices: run from the monster who stalks her every step... or step willingly into his darkness, and discover what it means to be loved by something that was never meant to let her go.
Because in Alaric's world, love isn't sweet.
It's obsession.
And it always ends in blood.
