After all, here in Harvey's Hill, when the clock strikes 10, you best be inside, praying to the moon that the monsters pretend you're not there. Yet, speeding down a highway late one night, she makes a grave - nay, fatal - mistake. Gabe saw those same smoldering embers that same night. Bloody and limp yet scathingly beautiful, her small but defiant voice burns through his soul. He reaches out, aching to claim her, but she knows her runes against beasts like him, and she isn't going down without a goddamn fight. But the King of Beasts always gets what he wants, and so he drags her away to be his forever...or so he thought. Just when love and passion take its course, odd things starts happening. Sinister things are in the works. And when Charlotte and Gabe find their bond broken, everything falls apart...maybe even their sanity. What are the secrets of this strange, strange town?
