Before Norah Bishop almost ruined his life (affectionate), Daniel Cohen had already been in love with her for approximately eight unnecessary years.
This was not just romantic.
It involved:
• aggressive observing
• long-term emotional repression
• a completely one-sided rivalry with Sebastian Iver
• and the deeply unsettling suspicion that something about Norah wasn't right when she came back different
He didn't chase her.
He didn't confess.
He just quietly spiraled while maintaining a 4.0 GPA.
These are the years before anyone called it a love story.
Locker rooms.
Early morning runs.
Passive-aggressive jump shots.
And the slow, humiliating realization that loving someone quietly does not make you noble. It just makes you tired.
This is Daniel's side of the story.
It's sarcastic.
It's observant.
It's occasionally unwell.
And unfortunately for him, it still leads back to her.

Until one day, everything changed. When her abusers were arrested in a drug bust, Aarya thought she was finally free. But freedom was a lie. Because this time she is captured by a monster even more dangerous, a ghost from the underworld, long thought dead. Where she learns a truth more unbelievable than fiction: she is not alone.
