Gothikana (The Verenmore Volumes)

An ancient castle. A century of disappearances. A professor who knows too much. And a girl who can't stop asking questions.

Corvina Clemm has always been an outcast. After losing her mother, she follows an unexpected invitation to the University of Verenmore — a secluded castle on a mountaintop shrouded in secrets, death, and a mystery no one has been able to solve for a hundred years.

Vad Deverell prefers to be a closed book. He knows every danger this castle holds. And the moment Corvina crosses his path, he knows she's the most dangerous thing in it — to him.

They shouldn't. They can't. But a century-old mystery pulls them together, and someone has to find out why people keep disappearing every five years.

Even if the answer is something neither of them is ready for.
