Monster meets nihilist. She wants death. He needs purpose.
Zoey’s last-ditch attempt to find reasons for living almost failed entirely. Until she finds herself across from a mysterious stranger, who is less human than he appears. Although others treat him as dangerous, his actions towards her are anything but.
Ronan surrendered his freedom to protect The Village of those like him. Cryptfolk: beings formed from a fusion of spirit and soul. For twenty years he hid what he is, enduring abuse and loneliness while his inner nature threatened to break him from the inside out. But when he collides with Zoey three times in three days, he believes her to be a gift from The Mother.
With newfound purpose and a promise made, Ronan sets out to get them out of the facility and convince Zoey not to take her own life. But that was the easy part. Outside, unseen strings are pulled with the intent to use corruption and law to break them both. As the past catches up to Ronan, they are forced to fight in more ways than one.
Will their bond be enough to weather the storm, or will all they build be ruined by the treachery of those who cannot let the past go?
