Salt & Stone

Caroline Bell's life is a carefully crafted illusion. At 22, she's a college student, a bookworm, and a girl trying to hide the supernatural power that's been part of her since birth. But when a brutal murder rocks the campus and the ground itself begins to pulse with unnatural energy, her world shatters. What she doesn't know is that she's not the only one with a secret.

Derek Miller is a loner. Mysterious, brooding, and always just a little too perfect. He's been hiding something darker than his past, something that even he doesn't fully understand. When their paths cross at the scene of the murder, sparks fly-and not the good kind. Caroline is wary, but Derek seems to be the only one who knows what's really going on. She doesn't trust him, but with each new attack, they're forced to work together, tracking a monster they can't even begin to understand.

As they uncover cryptic clues and ancient symbols, their growing connection forces them to confront not just the creature stalking them, but the secrets they've been hiding from each other. Derek has a darkness he's never let anyone see, and Caroline's powers are far more dangerous than she ever realized.

But the real danger is still ahead. Because the monster hunting them is no accident-and it feeds on their power. When salt meets stone, the earth shall tremble, and the tide will rise. The prophecy is real, and it's pulling them toward a fate neither can escape.

As they fight to survive, their attraction becomes impossible to ignore. But with danger closing in, there's only one question left: Can they trust each other long enough to defeat what's coming-or will their secrets destroy them both
