Every year, one woman disappears from Blackwood University. No witnesses. No bodies. No answers. When twenty-two-year-old August receives a letter predicting the exact day of her disappearance, she dismisses it as a cruel prank—until impossible things begin happening around her. The only man who seems to know the truth is Christopher, the university's enigmatic archivist. Cold. Untouchable. Feared by everyone. He watches her from the shadows. He lies to protect her. And every instinct tells August to run from him. But the deeper she digs into Blackwood's buried secrets, the more she realizes Christopher isn't the monster she's been running from. He's the one standing between her and the people who want her to disappear forever. In a place where every secret demands a sacrifice, falling in love may be the deadliest mistake of all.
