As students begin to vanish and chilling whispers of Mary’s curse resurface, fear grips the school’s ivy-covered halls.

But the question remains—can the monster be stopped, or is death inevitable once the name Mary is spoken? In Black Valentine, love and betrayal intertwine with vengeance and blood.
