Dorian Gray: Vanity Kills #1

Dorian Gray knows monsters because he was born from one. A direct descendant of the original Dorian Gray, he has inherited a curse bound to vanity, desire, and a portrait that records the sins meant for him. Determined to confront the legacy that destroyed his family, Dorian has become a monster hunter, armed with arcane technology, forbidden texts, and rules learned the hard way. Enrolling at the elite Ashcroft College, Dorian expects privilege, pressure, and performance, but not a horror that refuses to behave like a demon. When a freshman's sudden breakdown rattles the campus, Dorian senses something deeply wrong. As reflections in mirrors linger too long and confidence curdles into obsession, Ashcroft reveals itself as a place that doesn't just reward vanity. It weaponizes it.
