Atticus

From author Abelia Sumpter comes a dark MM fantasy told from the perspective of a playboy villain hell-bent on revenge.
What's in your head, Dominic? What makes you tick? I look forward to meeting you. Sinking my claws into your fears, vulnerabilities, and desires.
Breaking you before you realize what I've done.
Eight years ago, Atticus Desimir had only one goal: becoming as strong and mighty as his father. But one night, a group of immortals broke into the Desimir estate, ripping his family away from him, leaving Atticus the sole survivor. From that moment forward, his purpose became revenge.
When years of magic and combat training don't bring him any closer to his goal, his sympathetic mentor suggests a solution-preserve his body by sleeping in water from the Spring of Perpetuity until killing immortals becomes an obtainable reality.
Four hundred and eighty years later, Atticus awakens in London in the year 1890.
He quickly learns that the first immortal was killed decades years earlier by a man named Ezekiel Blythesea. Atticus sets his sights on Ezekiel's grandson, Dominic Ashworth, a twenty-year-old student at Roche University, and one of the few people who holds Blythesea magic.
Immersed in a world of academia, and with revenge within his grasp, Atticus is set to go to any length to steal Dominic's magic, even if it includes exploiting one of Dominic's deepest desires for his own gain. But when Dominic and Atticus grow closer in their friendship, Atticus quickly faces a crossroads between betraying Dominic and his long-standing dream of revenge.

So there's only one solution now, isn't there? I w
