Sarah Whitmore doesn't do "damsel in distress."
A star athlete with a sharp tongue and a steady heart, Sarah expected her move to the rain-soaked town of Grey Hollow to be an exercise in endurance. Living with her father, the local Police Chief, meant navigating his quiet guilt and the damp chill of the Olympic Peninsula. She planned to spend her senior year running forest trails and keeping her head down. She didn't plan on Rory Callahan.
Rory is disciplined, observant, and unnervingly still. He and his family are the town's greatest mystery-a tight-knit circle that lives on the fringes of the deep woods. While the rest of the world sees them as elite and untouchable, Sarah sees the truth: Rory isn't just different. He's dangerous. And for some reason, her presence is the only thing that breaks his legendary control.
When a series of brutal, impossible disappearances begins to haunt the town, Sarah's father is pushed to his breaking point. The town whispers of animals, but Sarah knows better. She has seen what moves in the shadows of the pines.
As the line between predator and protector blurs, Sarah finds herself at the center of a brewing war. Her blood holds a secret she hasn't even begun to understand-one that doesn't just tempt the monsters, but threatens to change their very nature.
In Grey Hollow, the dark doesn't just hide secrets. It's waiting for a spark. And Sarah Whitmore is about to set the woods on fire.
