Some nightmares don’t want to just haunt you. They want to claim you. He’s the monster that invades her sleep. She’s the mortal who makes him dream. Each night, Kaelith slips from the void to find her: the woman whose fear tastes like desire, whose touch sets the darkness alight. He was born to feed on terror and break mortals until they beg for dawn… but with Lila, he hungers for something more. As Lila's dreams turn to temptation and her waking hours blur with his whispers, the line between danger and devotion dissolves. And in the shadows, where nightmares feel like salvation, Lila will discover that surrender doesn’t always mean being destroyed; sometimes, it means being claimed.
