Guest has been secretly working on a forbidden love potion because she wants to make her crush, Beck Scott, finally fall in love with her.

After weeks of researching an old spellbook, she finally succeeds.

There's only one problem.

Before Guest can give the potion to Beck, she leaves the bottle unattended in the classroom. Kieran Clark, the school's infamous class bully, finds it.

Thinking it's just a strange drink, Kieran casually takes a few swallows.

Within minutes, something changes.

The boy who normally can't stand Guest suddenly can't stop looking at her.

He follows her around.

He becomes unusually affectionate.

And whenever Guest tries to get away from him, Kieran keeps asking the same question:

“Why are you trying to leave me?”

At first, Guest thinks the potion is simply working.

Then she discovers the horrifying truth. The potion isn't creating love. It's replacing the drinker's natural emotions with an artificial obsession.

If Guest doesn't break the spell, Kieran could eventually lose his ability to distinguish magical feelings from his real emotions.

Now she has to find the antidote before it's too late.

And she has to do it without letting Kieran discover that she caused this.

💔 The Central Mystery

As Guest searches for the cure, strange things begin happening.

Kieran occasionally reacts to her in ways that don't seem connected to the potion.

He remembers things from before he drank it. He sometimes becomes irritated with her again.

And occasionally, when the potion's influence weakens, he looks at her exactly the way he used to.

Which leaves Guest with one terrifying question:

When the potion is finally broken… what will Kieran actually feel?

Because saving him means giving him his freedom back.

And Guest has to be willing to accept whatever comes after.
