The stories had it wrong—Hook was never the villain.
For two hundred years, every Darling woman has vanished on her 18th birthday, each returning days or weeks later—always changed, always broken. Now, as my own birthday looms, my mother locks every door and bars every window, hoping to keep the darkness at bay.
But there’s no escaping it. When night falls, he comes for me—the Never King and his Lost Boys, and this time, they have no intention of letting me go.
Trapped in their dangerous world, I face ruthless enemies, twisted desires, and secrets that threaten everything I thought I knew.
Will I escape unbroken, or will this world of shadows claim me as its own?
