   Summary

   "One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious."
   — C.G. Jung

   To his students at Gotham State, Dr. Jonathan Crane presents a world class curriculum—filtered through his chilling obsession. After hours, he puts theory into terrifying practice. The mediocrity of his students makes his day job a thankless endeavor–until her.

   Molly Randall.

   When a brutal assault leaves Molly broken and the system indifferent, Crane extends a chilling invitation: the power only borne of terror. His guidance soon fuels a precise and terrible revenge, an act that cracks open Molly's carefully constructed world and pulls her into his realm, where fear reigns supreme.

   Is he the serpent offering liberation through sin, or merely another predator whispering false promises?
   Can she resist the allure of the fall, when damnation feels so much like desire?
