And she b ecomes convinced that\, despite his alibi\, Edward Fosca is guilty of the murder. But why would the professor target one of his students? And why do es he keep returning to the rites of Persephone\, the maiden\, and her jou rney to the underworld?

But Mariana is determined to stop this killer\, even if it costs her eve rything―including her own life.
