It began as a game-a simple dare to explore the woods. But when Clara Eve steps into that decaying house, she witnesses something she was never meant to see. And someone saw her.
Lucian Vale is a ghost wrapped in a beautiful face-a 7'5 shadow who moves with quiet control and loves with violent obsession. He let her live that night. But not to set her free.
Now, Clara's life is unraveling. Her friends-Emily, Isla, and Jake-are dragged into the darkness with her. And Lucian? He's always watching. Always waiting. Because to him, Clara isn't a girl. She's a promise.
And he'll destroy anyone who touches what's his.
Clara can run. She can scream. She can beg.
But in the end, there's one truth she can't escape:
She is his to keep.
