After a childhood of instability, Cleo Thompson found his first and only real home when he was accepted to Rockwell University. As an obsessive antiquarian and workaholic, he enjoys nothing more than holing up in the library every day to research. He dreams of finding the missing Sanskrit text that would be the lynchpin of his work: the rumored cure for dementia that was lost to history. Cleo is at risk of losing everything, however, after his PhD advisor threatens to cut his scholarship if he doesn't produce results.
Desperate for answers, Cleo discovers not only a budding romance with a young faculty member, but a new source that could save him. Underneath his university library, he finds a hidden tunnel to an occult academy known as The Sanctum. Surrounded by the dangerous, knowledge-obsessed scholars in this surreal gothic landscape, Cleo is forced to confront what he's willing to sacrifice for a single book. Unfortunately, the Sanctum does not welcome outsiders.
The Scholar's Sanctum is a story of obsession, self-discovery...and survival.
