In the heart of a forbidden forest, where mortals dare not tread, a creature of shadows rules in silence, his cold indifference keeping all trespassers at bay. But when he finds a young woman bound and bleeding on a stone altar, left to die by her own kind, something ancient and unbidden stirs within him. Against his own nature, he intervenes, driving away her tormentors and offering the girl a chance to live--but only if she binds herself to him.
Desperate to escape death's grasp, she agrees, sealing a pact that entwines their fates in blood and shadow. As she steps further into his world, drawn to his power and mystery. She senses there is a darker purpose behind his actions, an unspoken desire that lingers between them like smoke. Bound to him by forces neither fully understand, she must navigate a world of forbidden magic and lurking predators, as her bond with her dark savior threatens to pull her deeper into the shadows--and into a passion that may consume them both.
In this tale of dark magic and twisted fate, the line between savior and captor blurs, and the allure of the unknown proved as irresistible as it is dangerous.

She didn't want to look at it, and she still wasn't sure she wouldn't rather take her chances with the open air instead. "Stop it, I'm not going to hurt you! You'll hit your head on the rock or something. Wren, please!" It knew her name. Somehow it knew her. She was going to die! "Let me go! Stop touching me!"

"I'll let go of you, okay? Just don't lunge around like that anymore, you'll get hurt." He whispered.Complete
