Fated to a Goddess. Bound to a Mortal.

Roweena I am supposed to be a wife. A countess.
A silent, obedient, proper woman, devoted to a husband I do not love.
My father has already signed away my fate, selling me to the Earl of Dunmere, Thomas Ashford, a man who smiles at me in public but speaks of locking me away behind closed doors.
I know what awaits me after the wedding.
A life in a gilded cage—if I am lucky. A madhouse if I am not.

And yet, for the first time in my life, I am not trapped.
For the first time, I see a path that does not end with a locked door and a stolen life.

But I never did.
Then she returned to me—not as the goddess I had worshipped, but as a mortal woman named Roweena. Flesh and blood. Soft and untamed. Everything Vaelora had never been.
She awakens something in me I thought was long dead. But she is not meant to last.
Because Roweena is more than she appears. And when the moment comes, I will have to make a terrible choice.

Monsters have always existed. They walk amongst us or live in the shadows. Hungering. Craving. Looking for love. Are you ready to meet these swoon-worthy specters and creatures of the night? It’s time for monsters…
