Aithenโs having headaches that arenโt headaches. Howโs he supposed to tell Olivia the truth about whatโs happening to him? Haunted by memories he shouldnโt be remembering, memories of slaughtering of monsters. Heโll never be clean of the sins heโs committed. One monster. Himself.
The second Olivia knows who he really is, heโs sure sheโll 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 heartโand hersโshattered.
Olivia has a secret. Well, maybe more than one. Right now, sheโs dealing with a beast thatโs escaped from the depths of hell and has her in its sights. All alone, with Aithen far removed from her life, sheโs simply trying to survive. Things donโt seem to be too dire. Until they do.
