Art is eternal. Obsession leaves scars. After surviving a brutal attack that killed her best friend, Amber vanishes into a new life on the Maine coast. By night, she creates Obscura Desideria—a secret gallery where every desire is painted, purchased, and performed behind a mask. But monsters crave beauty. And one has found her again. He knows her art, her scars, her nightmares. As bodies resurface and her past bleeds through the canvas, Amber must face the truth: the man she once loved and the killer who destroyed her might not be two different people after all. In this dark, sensual thriller, art, obsession, and identity collide, and every masterpiece demands a sacrifice.
