by Keri Lake

The BookTok Phenomenon from the Author of Anathema — Over 47,000 Ratings

A haunted island. A forbidden professor. A secret that should have stayed buried.
Welcome to Dracadia University.

THE STORY THAT WILL CONSUME YOU

After watching her mother succumb to a mysterious illness, she made herself two promises: find the cure for what ravaged her — and leave the godforsaken city where her mother abandoned her.

Four years later, an acceptance letter arrives from Dracadia University.

A secluded, prestigious school on an island off the coast of Maine.

Legends say it is haunted by the exiled souls of long-dead patients.

But the ghosts are not even its most daunting peculiarity.

Devryck Bramwell — known on campus as Doctor Death — is her devastatingly handsome professor.

He loathes first-years. Yet his dark gaze tells her all the ways he would devour her if given the chance. His stolen kisses burn with forbidden jealousy. Together, they are a toxic disaster waiting to be exposed.

And when the truth surfaces, they may be the ones to resurrect Dracadia's most depraved secret.

Some secrets are buried for a reason.
Some professors should never be kissed.
And some islands never let you leave.
