She’s the last heir of a bloodline his own mother slaughtered to keep a prophecy from coming true. He’s the son who just claimed her as his mate, without knowing her name, her blood, or that the Queen he’d die for already tried to kill her once.

Every winter, the fog comes to Bethany. Every winter, something in it hungers. John planned to leave in thirty days—leave the cold, the silence, and the girl he’s loved from afar. But the night he survives an attack no one survives, strange things begin to happen. Blackouts. Blood he can’t explain. And a growing fear that the monster stalking the town… might be him. As Bethany drowns in fog and fear, John has only one thought left: He must protect Miss Pulley— even if the thing she needs protection from is him.
