The Hartshorn brothers are little more than memories. Maybe even less than that. But when I inherit a house deep in the East Texas woods, they come back into my life.

And they bring their secrets with them.

Gideon is the strong one, the kind one. But there’s a craving for darkness simmering beneath his surface, and it awakens something even darker inside me.

Xavier is the cruel one, the one I shouldn’t want. But when he reaches out to me, I still shudder beneath his rough touch.

Together, they leave a trail of blood and magic through the darkest parts of the forest.

And I have no choice but to follow.
