Our Dying Shadows [ONC 2025]

Saoirse Rowan has just one wish: to escape with her best friend from Saltwood and begin a life anew.

But there's a problem: the town of Saltwood is cursed. No outsider can step inside, and while the folk can venture out, one way or another, they always come back.
As Saoirse and her friend start planning their escape, one stormy night a gift from the woods is left in front of her house, a man on the brink of death that only knows two things: her name, and that the shadows are all going to die.

Vowing to nurse the man back to health, she'll slowly realize that he's less human than what he first appeared to be, and that the secrets she thought she knew of Saltwood were nothing as they really were.
