After a devastating betrayal that left her questioning everything she thought she knew about magic and trust, Morgan finds herself caught between her old life and a thrilling new possibility. Hunter arrives with an air of mystery and authority, and despite the complicated web of family ties that connects him to her past trauma, Morgan discovers an undeniable connection forming between them. As she navigates the aftermath of darkness and tries to reclaim her power, she'll have to decide whether opening her heart to someone new is an act of courage or another dangerous mistake. This is a swoon-worthy paranormal romance that proves sometimes the person who understands your darkness best is the one who can help you find the light.
Reading soundtrack
Haunting indie-pop and dark alternative rock with smoldering R&B undertones. Moody vocals over ethereal synths and driving beats—capturing the tension between forbidden attraction and reclaiming inner power. Artists like Purity Ring, The Midnight, Halsey, and FKA twigs. Sensual yet defiant.
