Hardcover Exclusive: Four pages from Vec's Sketchbook & artwork of Atticus. From author Abelia Sumpter comes a dark MM fantasy told from the perspective of a playboy villain hell-bent on revenge. I was only twelve years old when the immortals killed my family. When they broke into our estate and murdered my dear sister right in front of me. Since that horrible day, I vowed to destroy the immortals, no matter how impossible it seemed or how many people I hurt. Eight years later, I am a feared assassin and a wicked lover, but I am no closer to avenging my family's souls. The murderers are still out there, taunting me with their every waking breath. But the secret to their immortality is not within reach. At least not in my lifetime. So there's only one solution now, isn't there? I will sleep in the Spring of Perpetuity and preserve my body until my mentor finds a way to kill immortals. And one day, four-hundred and eighty years later, he does. It's London in the year 1890, and I have my eye on only one dashing man, the key to all my life's dreams-Dominic Ashworth. Does he really think he can keep his forbidden magic from me? That I wouldn't find him hiding in a prestigious magic-wielding university? Nevermind that. I will enroll undercover, I will befriend him, and when he least expects it, I will take everything from him. What's in your head, Dominic? What makes you tick? I look forward to meeting you. Sinking my claws into your fears, vulnerabilities, and desires. Breaking you before you realize what I've done. Atticus is a new adult fantasy book.
