Iris Blackthorne has spent her whole life pretending to be ordinary – until a scholarship arrives from a mysterious university that she never applied to. Nestled on a secluded isla nd off the coast of Stonewall, lies Ashcroft University – one of the oldest, most prestigious schools in the country. Eager to escape her shadowed past, she accepts – but Ashcroft is far from what it seems. Ghostly faces ripple in the water, students vanish without a trace, and masked figures haunt the woods. The ivy-covered walls hide secrets that could destroy her. And then there’s him…An irresistible, morally gray professor whose every stolen glance, every too-long touch, pulls her deeper into a web of dangerous desire. As Iris makes new discoveries, and the truth about Ashcroft begins to unravel, she realises that, with her unique ability, she may be the only one able to stop the evil lurking in the shadows.
