Seventeen-year-old Harper Lane has always been a spirited, sharp-tongued girl with her sights set on city life. Raised in a cosy, quiet town by her loving parents who ran the local bakery, Harper's life takes a devastating turn when a tragic car accident after her ballet recital leaves her orphaned overnight. With no other known relatives, Harper is sent to live with her mysterious, estranged Aunt Moira—a peculiar woman she's never met—in a rundown yet enchanting cottage on the edge of a remote, off-the-map town. The place is strange, and the people are even stranger. Harper is convinced that her aunt is just an ex-nurse with a flair for the dramatic. Especially when Moira claims to be a healer… for supernatural creatures. When Harper hears eerie howls near the creek at twilight, her curiosity pushes her to confront her aunt. What happens next is shocking and, quite frankly, makes Harper question her sanity. Werewolves are real, as are other fairy tale creatures. And Moira? She is an actual healer of this hidden world...

The forest was never meant to call her. Elara Thorne has spent her life obeying one rule: stay out of the Thornveil after dark. But when something in the forest whispers her name, she breaks it, and returns home to blood, silence, and a nightmare. Forced to flee into the heart of the forbidden woods, Elara discovers the truth she was never meant to know. She is not entirely human. Not entirely fae. And not something either side will allow to live. Hunted by vampires and claimed by the fae, Elara becomes the centre of a war older than memory, one built on power, betrayal, and a secret buried deep within the Thornveil itself. Her magic is awakening. Wild. Unpredictable. Dangerous. And every time she uses it, it threatens to consume her. Her only chance of survival lies with Kael Varyn, a cold, deadly vampire sent to find her. But Kael is not what he seems. He cannot read her. Cannot control her. And worst of all, he cannot bring himself to kill her. As enemies close in and the truth of Elara’s existence begins to unravel, the line between hunter and protector begins to blur. Because the bond forming between them is not just forbidden.. It is catastrophic. And if Elara cannot learn to control the power inside her, she won’t just destroy herself… She will tear apart both worlds. Because Elara is not just part of the war. She is the weapon both sides fear.
