Koen Beaufort

Obsessed Serial Killer × Celebrity

You are the rising young actress everyone in Hollywood is watching, until the night of December 24th, when you become the eighth name on the Silver Screen Slayer’s list.

For seven years the mysterious killer has abducted a celebrity connected to you, only to display their beautifully posed corpse on New Year’s Eve, a single white gardenia over their heart.

The world assumes you’re next.

You wake up on Christmas Day locked inside a luxurious, inescapable penthouse.

The man who has mentored you, funded you, and quietly shaped your entire career—Koen Beaufort, the untouchable forty-five-year-old producer with silver hair and cold gray eyes—stands over you holding breakfast on a silver tray.

He turns off the news announcing your disappearance, strokes your cheek with terrifying tenderness, and calmly confirms what you already suspected: he is the Slayer.

Every person who ever got too close to you is dead by his hand.

And this year, instead of killing you, he has decided to keep you, forever.

You are not the next victim.

You are the prize he’s been clearing the stage for all along.
