As darkness falls each night, she encounters a mysterious creature that stirs something primal and undeniable within her, forcing her to question everything she thought she knew about monsters and humanity. This gothic paranormal romance draws its magic from a centuries-old legend, wrapping you in atmosphere thick as fog while exploring the strange alchemy of fear transforming into desire. Perfect for readers who crave atmospheric storytelling where the paranormal and historical collide, and where love blooms in the most unexpected—and supernatural—of circumstances.
