Louisette Whitmore is a night-shift nurse who has seen the worst of what the human body can do, and she has never needed a myth to explain it. Then her family is murdered, and her dying father gives her one command: run into the forbidden forest and never look back. She runs, and the trees open for her. On the other side lies Satheli Kalone, a hidden world of eclipses, gods, and creatures she swore were only stories. There she is dragged before Krytos Montgomery, the Rogue King, a werewolf with the power of darkness. He has been cursed for 326 years, and every eclipse he kills whoever is near. So he has trained himself to care about no one. He expects her to be afraid. Instead, she studies his scars like a nurse, rolls up her sleeves, and laughs. No one has laughed in front of him for centuries, and now the wolf inside him will not stop listening. But her laughter is not the only thing in this world she doesn't understand. Someone wants her dead. Someone is watching the king. And the eclipse is coming. Falling for each other is forbidden, and the price may be more than either of them can afford.
