The Darkness Between Us

Celine never believed in monsters.

At twenty-two, she's more concerned with escaping her small-town past than confronting the grief she left behind. A night of drinking in the city was supposed to be a distraction-a chance to forget. Instead, it ends with a devastating attack, the murder of her family, and a terrifying accusation from her dying sister:

You're a demon.

Dragged into the secret world of the Veilkeepers-a powerful organization tasked with controlling magic and hunting the creatures that lurk in the shadows-Celine discovers that everything she thought she knew about herself may be a lie.

Including the stranger she can't seem to escape.

Xaden is arrogant, infuriating, and far too willing to keep secrets. As a Veilkeeper, his duty is clear: uncover the truth behind the attack threatening the city. But the more time he spends with Celine, the harder it becomes to ignore the possibility that she isn't the enemy everyone believes her to be.

With dark forces gathering, old conspiracies resurfacing, and dangerous magic awakening within her, Celine is forced to confront a past deliberately hidden from her.

Because someone is willing to kill to keep the truth buried.

And the closer she gets to uncovering it, the closer she grows to the one man she should never trust.

In a world divided by secrets, power, and betrayal, the line between darkness and salvation may be thinner than either of them realize.

And sometimes the greatest danger lies not in the darkness around us-

but in the darkness between us.
