Sinister: A Dark Academia Gothic Romance (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781668242506)

From the USA TODAY bestselling author of Fairydale, dark academia and gothic romance meet in this haunting stand-alone filled with centuries-old secrets, dangerous alliances, and obsessive love that stands the test of time.

In Radcliffe, perfection is a mask. And Sinclair Arnoult wears his far too well. Petra Valentine has always been an outsider. Trapped in a world of wealth and privilege that barely tolerates her, she's spent her life fading into the background--until one reckless night at a party changes everything. A fleeting, drunken mistake ties her to him. Sinclair Arnoult is Radcliffe's golden boy. Star athlete, top student, and heir to a family name that carries weight in every corner of town. With his easy smiles and effortless charm, he's untouchable. Perfect. But when a slew of ritualistic murders force them together as they try to unravel Radcliffe's twisted past, Petra realizes Sin is tied to something far more sinister than just a privileged legacy. The man everyone worships is hiding dangerous truths--about his past, about the town, and about her. He swears he'll protect her. He swears he'd never hurt her. But in Radcliffe, devotion and destruction look a lot like the same thing.
