Dr. Olivia Marks has spent her life studying the darkest recesses of the human mind, but nothing could prepare her for the horrors she's about to face. When a series of brutal, ritualistic murders leaves a trail of victims marked with a mysterious snake-shaped burn, Olivia is drawn into a case that feels unnervingly personal. The crimes lead her to an enigmatic man-handsome, charming, and utterly captivating. But the deeper Olivia falls into the investigation, the more she begins to unravel a truth that shatters her understanding of reality.
Is she being hunted by a dangerous psychopath? Or is she being drawn into a deadly game by something far darker-a man who is more than human, with the ability to shift between flesh and scale? As Olivia struggles to maintain her sanity, she realizes that the line between predator and prey is thinner than she ever imagined.
