About this book
When darkness descends on Hollow Cove with a deeply personal edge, our heroine discovers that keeping her magical world and her loved ones safe might require impossible choices. Juggling family, supernatural threats, and a Gray Council with their own agenda, she finds herself racing against time to uncover the truth behind a string of brutal attacks before suspicion tears everything apart. With old enemies resurfacing and new darkness threatening the heart of everything she holds dear, she'll need to trust her instincts—and possibly strike a bargain she never saw coming. This is urban fantasy stakes cranked to eleven, where protecting those you love means standing toe-to-toe with forces that want you broken.
Reading soundtrack
Listen while you read

Dark, haunting indie-folk meets gothic synth-pop. Moody atmospheric tracks with building tension, whispered vocals, and orchestral undertones. Think Florence + The Machine, Purity Ring, and The Oh Hellos. Supernatural dread wrapped in intimate, desperate emotion.
