About this book
When history lecturer Daniel meets the mysterious and guarded Frankie, he can't ignore the electric connection between them—even though something about this stranger feels impossibly ancient and unknowable. Frankie is harboring a devastating secret: he's a man trapped in a gargoyle's body by an old witch's curse, and he has only twenty-eight days every twenty-five years to break free and find love. As Daniel and Frankie grow closer, strange dreams and dark forces begin closing in, forcing them both to question what's real and whether Daniel might hold the key to breaking a centuries-old spell. This paranormal romance beautifully weaves magic, witchcraft, and a deeply felt connection that might just have the power to transcend time itself.
