About this book

Given to the Ghoul Sent into the scorching desert as a sacrificial offering to appease the creatures that hunt her village, a young woman expects only death—but instead finds herself face-to-face with a ghoul who shatters every legend she's ever been told. What begins as a dark, dangerous encounter transforms into something far more unexpected and intimate, as she discovers that the monsters aren't quite what the stories painted them to be. This atmospheric paranormal romance blends gothic tension with genuine heat, exploring what happens when the "monster" becomes your salvation and fear transforms into something dangerously close to desire.

Dark, sensual, and atmospheric—gothic indie and moody electronic with sultry vocals. Think haunting melodies meets smoldering tension. Industrial undertones, paranormal intrigue, and raw passion in the shadows. Creatures, desire, and unexpected connection in the dark.
