The Exorcism of Faeries

Atta Morrow studies botany at Trinity College Dublin. For years she has quietly investigated a plague that grows under the skin of its victims. She works in secret, and the obsession is beginning to threaten her academic future.

Her latest risk draws the notice of Sonder Murdoch, Trinity's infamous and brilliant professor of morbid anatomy. He becomes an ally she did not expect, and a temptation she is wary of.

Together they follow the outbreak back to Irish folklore. Faeries are possessing people across Dublin, and Atta and Murdoch are the only ones able to drive them out. Doing so means working side by side while feelings neither of them should have keep growing.

This is a dark academia romance and the first book in the Morbid Realities duology by J.L. Vampa. It includes graphic autopsy scenes, body horror built around plants, and explicit sexual content. Expect a dark, gory tone, with the romance running alongside the horror and the hunt for the cause.
