"Top of the class, bottom of morality."

In the autumn of 1990, Elias Salvatore arrives at the prestigious Velgrave University-an elite institution wrapped in ivy and secrets. Drawn to an enigmatic circle of students haunted by brilliance and tragedy, Elias finds himself tangled in academic rivalries, unspoken desires, and an obsession with death that slowly takes root of the group.

By the winter of 1991, one of them is gone, and the pages of their youth are stained with something they cannot erase.

As memory begins to blur into myth, Elias must reckon with the consequences of obsession, the cruelty of love unspoken, and the terrifying possibility that knowledge wasn't meant to be pure.
