The Town Says They're Dead.

In the quiet town of Black Hollow, nothing is ever as peaceful as it seems.

When Elara Voss moves in after a near-fatal accident she can barely remember, she's looking for a fresh start-somewhere quiet, somewhere safe.

Then she meets Rowan Hale.

He's gentle. Attentive. Different in a way she can't quite explain. He only appears at dusk, never during the day, and no one else in town seems to know him... or wants to talk about him.

Until someone finally does.

"He's dead, Elara. He has been for years."

But Rowan is real-she can touch him, hear him, feel him.

And the more time she spends with him, the more the world around her begins to unravel.

People stop noticing her. Mirrors stop reflecting her. Her life begins to slip through her fingers... while Rowan becomes more alive with every passing day.

Because loving him isn't harmless.

It's a trade.

And someone in Black Hollow knows exactly how it ends.
