She always longed for a family… but some bonds come at a price. Crystal Valdez has always been a loner. Growing up in the care system taught her one thing: keep your distance, and you won’t get hurt. But when she is found by a great-aunt, she chooses to visit their sprawling, yet intimidating estate, and finds herself slowly slipping into a dark and sinister world. On the surface, the Lockes are wealthy and alluring. Underneath, they are something different, secretive and perhaps impossible to escape. The desolate town of Blacksville knows better than to trust them. They also know there is more to the powers unknowingly at Crystal's fingertips, and that the spell that has lingered throughout her family for generations is to finally begin or end. Crystal is forced to accept that her strange dreams since arriving seem to be telling her a vital message. Yet within the desolate cornfields, historic buildings, and decomposing graveyards of a forgotten land, deadly secrets can't stay hidden for long. One in Locke particular, Craven, her cousin by name, has a presence that is as irresistible as it is perhaps forbidden. With every passing day, the pull between them grows, intertwining desire with destiny, and testing the limits of what she is willing to endure. As the truth begins to unravel, Crystal is forced to confront one terrifying question: is the key to saving herself hidden in the boy who haunts her dreams, or is it buried within the mark on her chest? Along her journey to finding herself and what truly matters, Crystal must also find a way to survive and uncover not only who, but what she is, and save her kind before it’s too late. A new adult paranormal romance, perfect for fans who look for a touch of Gothic that is brimming with forbidden love and magic.
