Lost to the wild. Found by fate.
Six months ago, I vanished into the mountains and never came back.
Everyone thought I was dead.
But I survived, in a shadow realm where time twists and monsters whisper my name. I returned scarred, half-feral, and carrying something dark that followed me home. Now it hunts through the ley lines, and I’m the only one who can stop it… even if it means going back and never returning.
Then Maren Rivers finds me. A wilderness photographer and nature documentary researcher, with fire in her eyes and a scent that wakes the man I thought I’d lost. My bear knows her, my mate, but the bond between us burns and breaks, as if the shadows want to claim us both.
She believes we’re stronger together. I believe I’m too broken to keep her safe.
But when the Hollow rises again, the only thing more dangerous than losing her… is letting her go.
