The night the fog swallowed Manhattan, he returned with a warning -- and something ancient and evil returned with him.

Clarity Parker has always known she was different. She can hear thoughts, feel emotions, and sense truths no one else can. In New York's high-stakes advertising world, she's buried those abilities beneath ambition and control. But when Baron Ford steps out of the unnatural fog that follows him, the life she carefully constructed begins to fracture.

He vanished from her life five years ago without explanation. Now he's back -- with secrets, with danger, and with answers she may not survive hearing.

Vampires are hunting. Whispers about her blood are spreading through the shadows. And the strange power she's spent her life suppressing may be the reason.

Baron knows more than he's saying -- about her past, about what she is, and about the forces closing in. Trusting him means reopening wounds she thought had healed. Resisting him may cost her everything.

Their connection ignites fast and fierce, charged with a hunger neither of them can deny. Their bonds burn with a heat as dangerous as the forces rising against them.

Because the truth about Clarity Parker is only just awakening.
And once the war finds her, there will be no turning back.
