About this book

Ten years after being ripped away from the rugged cliffs of Carraig Brón, Nora returns to the Irish coast to bury her mother and settle the ghosts of her past. What begins as a somber homecoming quickly descends into a fight for survival as she discovers that the local legends are far more than folklore. The malevolent Celtic demon Balor and the spectral Sluagh have been waiting for her return, eager to claim the bloodline that Nora never knew she was bound to protect.

Caught in a web of dark romance and supernatural suspense, Nora finds herself torn between two men. Declan, her steadfast childhood friend, offers a tether to the life she once knew, while the enigmatic Landon carries dangerous secrets that could either save her or lead her to ruin. As the winds of the Atlantic howl with the voices of the dead, Nora must lean on an unlikely found-family to uncover the truth behind her family’s curse.

This haunting tale masterfully blends atmospheric dread with a deeply personal journey of grief and forgiveness. If you are looking for a paranormal romance that perfectly captures the eerie, misty magic of Ireland, prepare to be swept away by this gripping descent into the shadows.
