An Echo in the Shadows

Some men are coming.

The cryptic warning comes from my estranged sister, Ava—the one I cast out of my life seven years ago. Seven years of silence, guilt, and tense, one-sided phone calls. Now, out of the blue, she’s panicked. Terrified.

Leave town, Kit. Don’t talk to anyone.

She says I’m in danger, but how can I believe her after everything that’s happened? Still, I can’t shake the feeling she might be right. Shadows flicker where they shouldn’t. Footsteps echo behind me when I’m alone. And then there’s him.

He’s gorgeous. Dangerous. Radiating an otherworldly energy that sends chills down my spine—and heat straight to my core.

Ava’s world of dark secrets wasn’t supposed to touch mine again. I thought I’d escaped it. I couldn’t have been more wrong.

Because someone is coming, and it’s not just to find me.

It’s to claim me.
