Everyone fears the monsters beyond Ashbridge. Y/N never stopped wondering about them. While the rest of Ironmoor avoids the Black Vein River and obeys the warnings they've heard since childhood, Y/N longs to understand the creatures that have haunted humanity for generations. Her curiosity leads her into Bleakwood, where she encounters Kael Varken—a towering Gravorn with a wolf skull, emerald eyes, towering antlers, and instincts that demand he hunt whenever he smells human fear. Every moment together is dangerous. She fears him. He fights every instinct telling him to kill her. But as mysterious deaths increase and tensions between humans, Gravorn, demons, and the other species begin pushing the continent toward war, the two uncover a secret hidden since the Fallen Star first struck the earth. Sometimes... the greatest monsters aren't the ones hiding in the forest.
