Lena Atler has spent her life in a quiet town built on secrets—some she’s tried to forget, and others that have always been kept from her. After her father’s mysterious death years ago, Lena grew up trying to find stability in a place that never quite felt safe. But when strange visions begin to haunt her and danger creeps into her everyday life, the fragile truth she’s clung to starts to crack. Dean, her childhood friend and quiet protector, knows more than he lets on. And Cole—enigmatic, commanding, and impossible to ignore—seems to know her better than she knows herself. As hidden identities and long-buried histories come to light, Lena finds herself caught between two powerful forces, both tied to a world she never knew existed. In a town ruled by ancient bloodlines, unspoken laws, and a legacy of betrayal, Lena must confront a truth more terrifying than she ever imagined—and a fate she never asked for. Secrets run deep. Blood runs deeper. And some destinies are written in the dark
