In the beginning, there was nothing... and then, there was death.
Amelia Denvers was raised in the quiet comfort of an ordinary life—until the day her adoptive father realized she wasn't ordinary at all. Strange things began to happen around her. Dangerous things. By the time her car went up in flames in front of her entire college campus, Amelia knew something was seriously wrong.
Desperate for a fresh start, she moves to Belleville, Michigan, hoping to outrun the chaos. But the further she runs, the faster it catches up. Her grip on reality begins to fray, her nightmares bleed into daylight, and no one can explain what's happening to her... except, maybe, Cain Venere.
Cain is Belleville's dark prince—lethal, gorgeous, and impossible to read. He's as cold as he is magnetic, but there's something in his gaze that says he knows her secrets... maybe even before she does. And when he and his strange, dangerous friends pull her into their world, Amelia uncovers truths she was never meant to find.
A world of shadows. A legacy of death.
A destiny darker than anything she ever imagined.
As the line between who she is and what she's becoming begins to blur, Amelia must face a chilling truth: some fates were never meant to be outrun—only embraced.
And hers is leading her straight into the abyss.
