"Of three things, I was positively certain. First; monsters were real. Secondly; Arthur was one of them. And the third truth? He was the only one I was safe with." I had never fit in, ever since I was a little girl I'd felt like I was restrained to the outskirts of society- I was other. When my disastrous engagement came to a violent end and I became even more of a town pariah, I was ready to pack my bags and hit the road. And then Arthur Mason took a couple bullets for me, and every thing changed. Within each other Arthur and I found a relief from our solitary existence, and with every truth we uncovered about one another our bond grew stronger. Neither of us were ready for what our hearts wanted, but there was no stopping the love that unfurled between us. And both of us would need to fight tooth and claw to protect it.
