A serial killer is terrorizing the city, targeting the wealthy and leaving behind bodies dissolved by sulfuric acid. Fear spreads like wildfire, and no one knows who will be next.
But for Sarima, the true horror lurks much closer.
Every man her father tries to marry her off to ends up dead. One by one, they disappear, are butchered, or turn up as her stalker's latest victims. And somewhere in the shadows, her stalker is always watching her, silent, possessive, and already killing to keep her for himself.
Adopted eight years ago into a powerful family, Sarima once believed she had finally escaped loneliness. Instead, she finds herself trapped in a world of manipulation, obsession, and deadly secrets. Torn between fear and a dangerous attraction she cannot explain, she begins to question everything around her… especially the stranger who seems determined to both protect and destroy her.
As the body count rises and the city descends into panic, a horrifying truth shatters what remains of her world: her father is found murdered, his head severed from his body.
Now Sarima must uncover who the monster truly is before she becomes the next victim.
Because in this deadly game of obsession, love and murder may be one and the same.
