About the book

An unusual girl. An enigmatic man. An ancient castle. What could go wrong?

An outcast her entire life, Corvina Clemm is left adrift after losing her mother. When she receives the admission letter from the mysterious University of Verenmore, she accepts it as a sign from the universe. The last thing she expects though is an olden, secluded castle on top of a mountain riddled with secrets, deceit, and death.

An enigma his entire life, Vad Deverell likes being a closed book but knowing exactly everything that happens in the university. A part-time professor working on his thesis, Vad has been around long enough to know the dangers the castle possesses. And he knows the moment his paths cross with Corvina, she's dangerous to everything that he is.

They shouldn't have caught each other's eye. They cannot be. But a chill-inducing century-old mystery forces them to collide. People have disappeared every five years for over a hundred years, and Corvina is getting clues to unraveling it all, and Vad needs to keep an eye on her.

And so begins a tale of the mystique, the morbid, the macabre, and a deep love that blossoms in the unlikeliest of places.

    I will have you even in death, little witch. I am your beast. I am your madness. And you, you’re my afterlife.

    Wow! Ich hab wirklich nicht mit diesem Ende gerechnet, bin noch immer ganz begeistert davon. Zwischendurch hatte ich ein bisschen Sorge, dass es mir zu gruselig wird, aber das waren wirklich nur ganz kurze Momente, die sofort wieder verflogen sind (bin ein absoluter Schisser). Corvina ist einem direkt sympathisch und Vad zieht einen in den Bann. Bis zum Schluss ist man sich unsicher was man denken soll. Hervorragend geschrieben und kann es nur empfehlen.

    Gothikana Runyx „He bit the side of her neck, wild in his passion. “I’m in your head, in your blood, in your very veins. I’ve claimed you before anything else ever could. Your body, your heart, your mind, your fucking soul, it’s all mine. Your hunger is mine to feed, your madness is mine to tame. Do you feel that?” __• Meine Meinung •__ MEIN HERZ! 🖤 Ich will nicht, dass es zu Ende ist. 😭 Dieses wunderbare Buch. Ich kann es nicht ganz greifen und doch hat es mich gepackt. Mit allem, was das Buch ausmacht und ich LIEBE es. 🥹 ✍🏼 Dies war das erste Buch von Runyx, das ich lesen durfte und es wird definitiv nicht das Letzte gewesen sein. Ich habe das Buch auf Englisch gelesen und muss gestehen, dass ich mich erst einmal eingewöhnen musste. Es war doch ziemlich anspruchsvoll. Aber es war grandios, fesselnd, episch! 〽️ Du suchst eine Dark Academia Story? Düstere Geheimnisse? Dunkles Setting? Thrill? Spice? Dann darfst du dieses Buch unter keinen Umständen verpassen. 🤌🏼 👥 Unfassbar toll ausgearbeitete Protagonisten. Außergewöhnlich. Düster. Anders. Corvina und Vad. 😱❤️‍🔥 Was soll ich sagen ohne zu Spoilern? Das geht nicht. Aber eins kann ich dir sagen, dieses Buch ist mein Highlight 2025. 🖤

    I got hooked!

    Looks like I may be into dark academia. The only problem I had with this book are the long sentences. I had to re-read a couple of them around 5 times. But hey, thay is probably just me. I like the devil and the witch, and the settings. The hotness in between the two was nice. The sneaking around was good.
