A woman without a past to return to. A man reforging his name to forget the blood on his hands. A monster turning all he touches to ash.

Aveline Arden seeks to start a new existence in the unassuming Maine town of Greyridge, but her plans for the simple life are derailed by the presence of the local vampire, Cain Elding.

Their paths are sown together by threads of deceit and secrecy as the monster haunting Aveline's past draws nearer and Elding battles a legacy he never wished to own. Strange traditions clash with modern sensibilities, loyalties are challenged, and both mortal girl and vampire struggle to survive together.

A covert war spills into human society. Adversaries move unseen in the dark, the board is set, and the game must be played.

Aveline's about to learn how scary the world can get.
