She was supposed to die. Left with nothing but fragments of a past she can't remember, Celestine has spent her life surviving-quiet, unseen, and untouched by the world around her. Until the night everything changes. When she's taken in by the enigmatic William Blackwood, she finds herself surrounded by secrets buried deep within the walls of his manor. He is dangerous. Beautiful. Unreadable. And yet, from the moment he touches her, something awakens-something that feels older than memory... and far more powerful. The more time she spends under his watch, the more the truth begins to unravel. Whispers of a life she doesn't recall. A connection written in blood. A past that refuses to stay buried. But Celestine isn't the only one hiding secrets. And as her memories begin to surface, so does something far more terrifying than the monsters lurking in the dark- The truth of what she is. And why she was never meant to survive. Because in a world of predators and power, Celestine is not just another girl caught in the shadows. She is the one they've been waiting for.
