Shunned by her village as a harbinger of doom, Reia faces an impossible choice: prison or sacrifice to the mysterious Duskwalker. But when she meets Orpheus—a ethereal, skull-faced being who's far more than the monster she expected—she discovers he's been as achingly lonely as she's been desperate to escape. As Reia begins to uncover the truth behind her village's rejection and Orpheus's haunting existence, their connection deepens into something neither of them anticipated, forcing them to confront whether love can truly flourish in the Veil between worlds. This atmospheric paranormal romance will have you rooting for two broken souls to find their forever in the most unexpected place.
