One year.
That's all I need-to survive high school, make a few real friends, graduate, and finally break free from my father's suffocating control.
But then I meet Thomas Williams.
He's cursed in a way that's beautiful and dangerous. Quiet. Brooding. A creature stitched together by violence and hunger, haunted by a past that refuses to stay buried. And every instinct in me screams to run, as there's a hunger in him that terrifies me. Yet, a tenderness that ruins me that begs me to stay.
He warned me that becoming something more than we're supposed to be could destroy us both. But I've already begun to unravel.
And now I'm marked.
Something vengeful wants me gone. A ghostly girl follows me with cryptic warnings. And the shadows around Thomas are growing darker, as I fall deeper into a world I was never meant to touch.
I wanted connection.
Instead, I found obsession.
I wanted freedom.
And yet, I found him.
