THE STORY
Everyone loved Sebastian Vale.
At Blackthorne University, power is inherited, reputation is everything, and the right last name can make almost any problem disappear.
Sebastian Vale knows that better than most. Beautiful, magnetic, and impossible to ignore, he lives openly and loves on his own terms, even in a world determined to tell him who he should be.
Then Sebastian is found dead.
The people closest to him are left to untangle a life full of desire, loyalty, betrayal, and secrets that began long before his final night. At Blackthorne, the truth is never quite what it seems.
An atmospheric mystery about love, privilege, guilt, and the stories we tell to protect the people we cannot bear to lose.
