"Shadowvale College isn't haunted by a ghost. It is haunted by me." When eighteen-year-old Nyx Claire transfers to the elite, mist-shrouded Shadowvale College, she walks into a nightmare. The entire student body is terrified of her. Why? Because she is the exact physical replica of Freya, a girl who recently died in a tragic "suicide" at the school. But Nyx is no fragile victim. She carries a dark, lethal secret: a violently protective werewolf spirit living inside her mind. When the school's wealthy, untouchable bullies try to break her the way they broke Freya, Nyx fights back, proving she is an apex predator. Her defiance catches the eye of Mr. Creed—a dangerously wealthy, intimidating human teacher harboring a dark trauma over Freya's death. Haunted by guilt, Creed develops a deeply possessive obsession with Nyx. He wants to protect her. He wants to dominate her. But Nyx refuses to be a replacement for a dead girl. As their toxic, explosive psychological warfare turns into an undeniable dark romance, they uncover a horrific black-market conspiracy hiding beneath the school. The rich monsters of Shadowvale think they can bury Nyx, but they are about to learn what happens when you corner a real wolf.
