Y/N transfers to Nevermore expecting a strange school year. Instead, humans around Jericho start turning up dead, ritual symbols appear across town, and something ancient is moving through the cracks between outcast history and dark magic. Caught between Wednesday’s relentless investigation, Enid’s chaos, Nevermore’s secrets, and a killer who believes humanity itself is the enemy, Y/N’s first semester becomes a race to uncover the truth before Jericho becomes the beginning of something much worse. Gothic mystery, murder, dark magic, school life, slow-building friendships, and a villain who can actually fight back.
