Vespera

Twenty-three days after her mother's death, Zareya Voss receives an inheritance she never knew existed-a house in the secluded coastal town of Vespera.

Her mother never mentioned the house.

Never mentioned the town.

And apparently, never intended for Zareya to find either while she was alive.

Zareya plans to do exactly what any sane person would: claim the property, sell it, and leave.

But Vespera has other plans.

The locals recognize her name. Strange rules govern the town after dark. Her mother's house contains secrets that were never meant to be uncovered. And the mysterious man who keeps appearing wherever Zareya shouldn't be seems to know more about her family than she does.

Then her best friend disappears.

Searching for her pulls Zareya into a world hidden beneath Vespera-one filled with missing women, impossible memories, ancient bloodlines, and creatures that should not exist.

And the deeper Zareya digs into her mother's past, the more one truth becomes impossible to ignore:

Her mother wasn't hiding Vespera from her.

She was hiding Zareya from Vespera.

Some bloodlines were never meant to survive.
