Teaming up with Caleb, a detective haunted by his own past, Elena dives into an intricate web of danger and deception tied to a rare and lethal plant. As romance blossoms between them, they must unravel the truth behind an ancient society before it claims more lives-while a lunar eclipse looms, threatening to cast shadows over everything they hold dear.
