Aithenâs having headaches that arenât headaches. Howâs he supposed to tell Olivia the truth about whatâs happening to him? Haunted by memories he shouldnât be remembering, memories of slaughtering of monsters. Heâll never be clean of the sins heâs committed. One monster. Himself.
The second Olivia knows who he really is, heâs sure sheâll recoil in disgust and hate him. To prevent that, he does the only thing he can. He removes himself form her life and leaves his heartâand hersâshattered.
Olivia has a secret. Well, maybe more than one. Right now, sheâs dealing with a beast thatâs escaped from the depths of hell and has her in its sights. All alone, with Aithen far removed from her life, sheâs simply trying to survive. Things donât seem to be too dire. Until they do.
