Description: They were never supposed to cross paths. Elijah Norman was just a college student-until a night in the forbidden forest behind campus changed everything. Something ancient marked him, something that whispers his name in the dark. And now, he and his best friend Noah Blackwood are being hunted-not just by the creatures lurking in the shadows, but by the most dangerous man in the city. Professor Graves. Powerful. Ruthless. And keeping secrets far darker than anyone knows. But the biggest secret? His daughter. Celeste Graves was born into a world of shadows, raised by a father who buries the past in blood. She knows the things watching Elijah aren't human-because they once took someone from her, too. She should stay away. She should turn him in. Instead, she's kissing him in the dark. Now, trapped between a world of monsters and a man willing to kill to protect his legacy, Elijah and Celeste have only one rule: don't fall. Because in a world where the shadows have eyes and secrets have teeth, love might just be the deadliest mistake of all. Mystery. Suspense. Brutality. A forbidden romance tangled in horror. Welcome to the game. And in this game, there are no winners.
