When Darcy O'Sullivan arrives in the picturesque coastal town of Fairydale to claim her inheritance, she quickly discovers that nothing—and no one—is quite what it seems. Caught between the dangerously intense Caleb Hale and the haunting presence of a mysterious nobleman who visits her dreams, Darcy finds herself pulled deeper into a web of dark secrets and supernatural occurrences that challenge everything she believes about reality itself. As an ancient evil stirs and threatens to consume the town, she'll have to uncover the truth about her own identity and choose between two men who would remake the world for her—one to save it, and one to burn it all down. This is a gorgeously gothic, paranormal-drenched romance that spans lifetimes and defies the rules of traditional love stories.
