The Wizard of Oz meets Stranger Things and The Spiderwick Chronicles in this riveting, dark portal romantasy from author Renna Ashley.

Beware the shadows. They’ll pull you in and never let go.

For Klara Whitlock, moving into her grandmother’s old house is supposed to be a fresh start. Watching for shadows is the last thing on her mind. Klara’s an adult now, and she’s no longer afraid of the dark. But maybe she should be.

When she falls into a colorless, cold, and unforgiving world, Klara learns there's truth to her grandmother's tall tales. And she's about to encounter them herself, whether she likes it or not. Though, she's far from alone. Ghost, the mysterious—and oddly familiar—amnesiac violinist who seems to know her grandmother is her only ally, even though he’s hellbent on keeping her at arm’s length.

Still, the clock is ticking. Trapped in a shadowy realm where nightmares are real, and they're after her, Klara must choose: trust Ghost to bring her home or succumb to the shadows.

And if she chooses wrong, only a fate far worse than death awaits her.

Are you afraid of the dark?
