When a girl who's spent her life chasing unexplainable mysteries finally finds something she can't ignore, it's in the form of a dangerously captivating stranger living in an abandoned cathedral on the edge of a dark, twisted city called Nightshade. Jericho Van Croix is everything she's been warned away from—cold, enigmatic, and utterly magnetic—and the pull between them is undeniable, even as she discovers that getting close to him could cost her everything. As forbidden attraction burns between them, she begins to uncover secrets that blur the lines between salvation and damnation, forcing her to question everything she thought she knew about redemption and desire. This is a richly atmospheric paranormal romance that will have you breathless as love becomes the most dangerous—and most necessary—choice of all.
Reading soundtrack
Dark, smoldering tension wrapped in gothic atmosphere. Think moody alternative rock, sultry R&B, industrial synths, and haunting orchestral moments. Music for forbidden desire in shadowed cathedrals—magnetic, dangerous, irresistible.
