The Rotting Heart

Five months ago, seventeen-year-old Elias Cross died in a tragic accident. He left behind a grieving town-and Lena Moreau, the girl he loved with a devotion that bordered on obsession.

Lena has spent months trying to move forward. The pain hasn't faded, but she's learning how to breathe again.

Then one night, Elias returns.

But he's not the same.

Dragged back from the grave by the strength of a bond that refused to break, Elias is no longer entirely human. His body is broken. His mind fraying. And all he wants is her.

Terrified, Lena is torn between the memory of the boy she once loved and the nightmare he's become. As Elias lurks in the shadows of her life-watching, waiting, desperate-she must confront the truth: love doesn't always die. Sometimes it comes back.

And it's hungry.
