A FINAL NOTE TO THE READER

Midnight University does not portray a safe, conventional, or morally exemplary romance.

Lucien Ashcroft is an undead narcissist, professor, manipulator, hedonist, murderer, supernatural parasite, and eldritch monster. His relationship with Margot is built upon hostility, intellectual warfare, dangerous bargains, secrecy, obsession, monstrous desire, and mutual recognition.

This story contains no promise that love will turn its monster into a virtuous man.

Please proceed only if you are comfortable entering a dark romance in which the villain remains villainous, the heroine possesses darkness of her own, and neither character is particularly interested in behaving respectably.
