A predator in the dark. A woman who was never meant to live. A connection neither of them bargained for. Dr. Sienna Blake has dedicated her life to helping people. As a trauma psychologist based in Chicago, she has seen her fair share of darkness, but nothing can prepare her for the night she is picked as prey. Having been targeted by the infamous serial killer known only as "The Raven" and barely surviving to tell the tale, Sienna finds herself the only living survivor of his lethal fixation. For the Raven- known to those nearest him as Damian Voss, Sienna was just supposed to be another kill. Something pedantic. Clean. Controlled and then forgotten. But her fierce strength, unyielding fearlessness, and unwillingness to shatter, ignites something far more horrifying than bloodlust within him- fascination. He knows he should walk away. To erase her from existence as he has done with her imminent predecessors. Instead, he observes. Follows. Studies. Not to kill her for a second time. But instead, to understand her. To possess her. To undo the single woman capable of stirring a deeper reaction from him than coolness and precision. While Sienna tries to pick up the pieces of the shattered life she's been forced to accept, she begins to sense the phantom that never left. Unlatched doors. Figures where figures shouldn't be. The murmurs of a man that should either be locked away, or dead. And as bodies begin to show up again, each with markings she alone recognises, it becomes terrifyingly clear: The Raven never let go. But the hunter isn't the only one who has changed. Sienna is no longer just the survivor. She is the bait. She is the game. She may even be his destruction. In a deadly game of perverse obsession, survival, and desire, the lines of justice and revenge, fear and attraction, have become utterly obscured. Sienna must face not just the man who has marked her-- but the woman she can become because of him.
