Inspired by The White Lotus, this is a story about the quiet unraveling of family, memory, and the ties that bind us, set against the still, snow-covered beauty of Aspen. The Wilkins family appears picture-perfect: a high-powered father, a graceful, grounded mother, and two bright college-aged children. When they arrive at a luxurious mountaintop resort for a winter getaway, it's meant to be a chance to reconnect. For Maya, a 22-year-old law school hopeful, it's a brief breath after months of stress-one last trip before everything changes. For Kieran, her younger brother, it's a chance to escape the pressure of freshman year. And for Anjali, their mother, it's a chance to hold her family together-if only just a little longer. But William Wilkins, work-obsessed and emotionally distant, arrives at the lodge with something heavier than stress. And Maya is tired of pretending nothing's wrong. Surrounded by strangers with stories of their own-a grieving man traveling alone, a too-perfect couple on a babymoon, a trio of middle-aged women soul-searching, a loud but kind group of college skiers-Maya starts to question what connection really means, and what's worth salvaging when silence has taken root. As the snow falls and tensions rise, past grief and present fractures threaten to surface. Not everyone came to Solstice Ridge to heal. But everyone will leave changed.

Cold. Apathetic. Bizzare. Those are the words servants of the castle in the vampire kingdom of Lamia, use to describe the doctor that directly serves the royal family. Doctor Viktor Bloodfern is the castaway of his family, living in numbed black and white after the loss of his beloved wife, and waiting to die to take his dark secret to the grave. After being on trial and accused of fifteen murders, horrifying and hateful rumors about him roam the kingdom. Kind and well-mannered, Josiah Aspen is not only the most powerful noble, but the most trusted advisor of the king. The first time he meets Viktor is during his trial as an interrogator, and later . . . as his closest friend. Befriending the mysterious royal doctor and unleashing an unlikely romance might just be his worst mistake. He will never know, until the blindfold falls.
