Synopsis

From New York Times bestselling author RuNyx comes the highly anticipated prequel to Gothikana: Arkana—a tale of lush, suspenseful, dark gothic romance.

A rumored sorceress. A villainous scoundrel. An ancient castle. What could go wrong?

A woman in hiding, Lenore Emmeranne finds herself at Verenmore after a series of unfortunate events, hoping it will be a clean slate for her. She plans to keep her head down and blend into the shadows.

A man in power, Draven Constantine knows every crack and crevice of the castle. So when he finds Lenore, it breaks his ennui and piques his interest, and their descent into doom begins.

Set in 1872 at the University of Verenmore, death, deceit, and darkness invade the mountain. Something beyond the understanding is at play, slithering down the spine as Lenore and Draven weave through lies, sink into lust and hold onto life.

Arkana is a gripping tale of the deliciously gothic, the grotesque, and the gravest flavor of love in the unlikeliest of places.
