Wynter Dellavale never planned on being hunted by the immortal Aeons, the first civilization—powerful, secretive, and unrelenting. But when they botched her execution, they set her on a dangerous path. Fleeing to Devil’s Cradle, a haven for outcasts ruled by the banished Ancients, Wynter strikes a tenuous bargain with Cain, the jealous, enigmatic figure who desires her in more ways than one.
The Ancients’ protection comes at a steep cost, but Wynter knows she can’t face the Aeons alone. Yet, she’s far from the helpless prey they expect. Something dark and otherworldly returned with her from the afterlife, a force that hungers for vengeance as much as she does.
Can Wynter harness the monster within, or will it consume her before the Aeons have their chance?
