📚 Book 2 of a completed 2-book series
When an ancient, ravenous evil awakens in the mortal lands, Maevyth and Zevander must brave The Eating Woods to escape—but the journey tests everything they've fought for, especially as dark truths about Maevyth's past begin to surface with terrifying clarity. With flesh-eating monsters prowling and a spreading curse draining the world of warmth and light, time becomes their cruelest enemy; Zevander grows weaker and more vulnerable to madness with each passing moment he remains separated from his essential magic. As the line between salvation and damnation blurs, Maevyth discovers that her power might not be enough to protect him from the shadowy force closing in, hunting him relentlessly toward the darkest corners of his own mind. This haunting sequel demands everything from our couple—trust, sacrifice, and the desperate hope that love can survive even when the world itself is collapsing around them.

“Literally, you guys, if you have not met Xavander yet, the MMC in this book, I do not think I have been as obsessed with a book boyfriend literally ever as much as I have been obsessed with Xavander. Carrie Lake has just written the most masterpiece of a man I have ever read about.”
