Seraphina Vale thought she understood love once.But her relationship with Damien Cole in secondary school slowly taught her otherwise, a bond that began with attention and closeness, but gradually turned into emotional imbalance, exhaustion, and quiet self-loss. By the time it ended, Seraphina didn’t just leave a person behind…she left a version of herself.Healing does not come quickly.It comes in fragments.And just when she begins rebuilding her life in college, reality starts to shift in ways she cannot explain.Something is wrong.Something is watching.And then Ethan Blackwood appears, always at the edges of the moments she cannot understand, as if drawn to the same unseen forces that now circle her life.But nothing in Seraphina’s world is simple anymore.Because her family is not ordinary.And neither is the darkness beginning to surface.
