DELUXE EDITION--featuring beautiful purple sprayed edges, unique interior cover art and moody art throughout!

The eternal romance of Beauty & the Beast meets the gothic suspense of Dracula in this erotic dark academia story by RuNyx--the New York Times bestselling sensation, now in paperback!

An unusual girl. An enigmatic man. An ancient castle. What could go wrong?

An outcast her entire life, Corvina Clemm accepts it as a sign from the universe when she receives an admission letter from the mysterious University of Verenmore. The last thing she expects, though, is an old, secluded castle on top of a mountain, riddled with secrets, deceit, and death.

An enigma his entire life, Vad Deverell is one of Verenmore's greatest secrets. A part-time professor working on his thesis, Vad has been around long enough to know the dangers the castle possesses. And he knows the moment his path crosses with Corvina, she's dangerous to everything that he is.

They shouldn't have caught each other's eye. They cannot be. But a chill-inducing century-old mystery forces them to collide. People have disappeared every five years over the past century, Corvina is getting clues to unraveling it all, and Vad needs to keep an eye on her.

And so begins a tale of the mysterious, the morbid, the macabre, and a deep love that blossoms in the unlikeliest of places.

Praise for Gothikana:

"An erotic and dark love story." ―Entertainment Tonight

"Original, innovative, and unlike anything I've read before."―L. J. Shen, USA Today bestselling author
