Sable Ashwood has spent her life learning how not to be seen.

Raised beneath prayers that feel more like warnings, shaped by grief she was never allowed to name, she knows the cost of being different in a world that fears what it cannot control. Still, when the night turns against her, it is not the Church that answers-but the forest she was taught to fear.

Evernight breathes.
It listens.
It remembers.

Its guardian is bound in shadow and silence, a presence carved from restraint and ruin. Corvin Shadeborne has learned to survive by distance, by denying the pull of old magic and older truths. Some things are safer left untouched.
Until her.

Something in Sable stirs what has long been buried. Dreams bleed into waking. The forest bends closer. And a bond-ancient, dangerous, and deeply patient-begins to wake.

Not all awakenings are gentle.
Not all truths are holy.
And once Evernight claims you, there is no going back.

A story of fate and fire, dark romance and devotion, ancient magic, forbidden bonds, and the cost of choosing love in a world built to destroy it.
