Everyone at Northville Heights University knows three rules: don’t go near the chapel after dark, don’t ask about the students who come back changed, and never catch the attention of Dean Adjei. Iris Quaye breaks all three in her first week. She didn’t transfer to the country’s most prestigious university for its reputation. She came looking for her brother. Elias vanished from Northville Heights without a trace, and while everyone else accepted the official story, Iris knows someone buried the truth.
The deeper she digs, the stranger the university becomes. Shadows move when no one is there. An ancient symbol begins carving itself into her palm. And Dean Adjei, the Order’s ruthless Keeper and the last man she should trust, starts watching her like she’s either the university’s greatest threat… or its only hope.
As buried secrets claw their way to the surface, Iris discovers Elias wasn’t the first to disappear, and she won’t be the last. Because Northville Heights has been waiting for someone exactly like her.
Some doors should never be opened. Unfortunately for Iris… one has already chosen her.
