Twenty year old Ella Snow leads a quiet, basic life in the foggy fishing town of Sugar Sap, Maine. Between shifts at her uncle's seafood restaurant and the crushing loneliness of a town that everyone her age has abandoned, she's spent her life waiting for something-anything-to happen.
Then, he arrives.
At first, the visits are a nightmare. Every night at 3:33 AM, Ella is pinned to her bed by a paralyzing cold as a towering shadow in a wide-brimmed hat looms over her. But as the hauntings grow more frequent, the terror begins to warp into something else. Something electric. Something addictive.
While her body begins to wither and her hair turns a ghostly white, Ella finds herself spiraling into a dark euphoria. The Hat Man doesn't just want her fear; he wants her soul. And as the line between her world and his begins to blur, she realizes she isn't just a victim of a fifty-year-old curse.
She is the host for a legacy that will change the world forever.
With her best friend Chloe desperately fighting to save her from a fate worse than death, Ella must choose: return to her hollow, human life, or embrace the violet-eyed monster who promises to make her his Queen of the Shadows.
