A brilliant, dangerous rebel with a shadowy past collides with a woman who's been systematically erased from existence—and their connection is so electric it threatens to destabilize everything around them. This is paranormal romance at its most intense, diving deep into the murky spaces between control and freedom, sanity and genius, where love becomes the most volatile force of all. If you're craving a story that's psychologically complex, viscerally passionate, and utterly unafraid to go dark, this is the book that will absolutely consume you. Singh delivers the character study and world-shaking romance her devoted fans have been waiting for.
