A monster in an orchard. A woman who refuses to be consumed. A love that feeds on truth.
Too long in broken relationships. Too long in promises that slowly consumed her. Too long believing that love meant endurance.
Until she meets Cernach—a man bound by ancient hunger and haunted by the monster he is.
She is bound and left in the orchard. He is the monster. She is the sacrifice. But when she saves his life, something shifts between them.
She stays anyway.
Because Cernach is no ordinary man.
He does not take what he desires. He refuses to feed without consent, even when it leaves him starving. He is both danger and salvation—a being of shadows and longing.
Drawn into dreams where myth and memory intertwine, Heath discovers a power she never knew she possessed: the power to choose, to offer, and to reclaim the parts of herself she once gave away to survive.
But hunger has rules.
And vengeance comes at a cost.
As their bond deepens, Heath must decide whether this dark, sacred connection will free them both… or awaken something far more dangerous than either of them expected.
A dark, mythic monster romance about devotion, consent, and the transformative power of being truly seen.
