Blackwater

By L.E. Caelyn

Blackwater Ridge survives by keeping its secrets buried.

Mara Vale thought moving to an isolated mountain town would be a chance to start over. Instead, she finds herself in a place where everyone is hiding something, no one gives a straight answer, and the man who seems to own the town watches her like he already knows exactly who she is.

Elias Vane is cold, controlled, and impossible to read. People fear him without explanation, obey him without question, and never speak about what happens in the mountains after dark.

But the deeper Mara digs into Blackwater's history, the more she realizes the town isn't protecting its secrets from outsiders.

It's protecting outsiders from them.

As violence spreads through the territory and old rivalries resurface, Mara finds herself hunted for reasons she doesn't understand and drawn to the one man she should fear most.

Because there are monsters in Blackwater.

And Elias Vane may be the most dangerous one of all.

BLACKWATER is a dark fantasy romance featuring an isolated mountain town, slow-burn romance, morally gray characters, supernatural politics, ancient secrets, and creatures lurking beneath the snow.
