Everyone in Blackridge knows one rule:
Never wander into the woods after dark.
Seventeen-year-old Elara Vale never believed the stories—until the night she lost her parents in a mysterious accident no one could explain.
Months later, she's trying to move on when a breathtaking new student, Stefan Vallen, arrives in town. Quiet. Mysterious. Impossible to read. The moment their eyes meet, Elara feels an unexplainable connection... as if fate has been waiting for them to find each other.
But Stefan isn't the only secret hiding in Blackridge.
When his dangerously charming older brother, Damien Vallen, returns, bodies begin to appear, ancient enemies awaken, and whispers of vampires, witches, and cursed bloodlines become terrifyingly real.
As passion turns into obsession and every kiss hides a deadly secret, Elara discovers that her family's past is tied to a centuries-old prophecy—one powerful enough to start a war between supernatural creatures.
Now she's trapped between two brothers...
One who would die to protect her.
One who would burn the world to have her.
In Blackridge, everyone has secrets.
Some are buried.
Some have fangs.
And some are waiting for Elara to remember who she really is...
Because monsters aren't the only things hiding in the dark.
