The Varcross Key

Leo Grayson thought he was escaping a nightmare when he fled his abusive past for the quiet of Oregon. Instead, a wrong turn off a dark highway plunges him into the impossible realm of Varcross, a derelict, cursed town hidden from the mortal map. Stranded among creatures who balance on the razor’s edge of humanity and monstrosity, Leo discovers that his arrival is no accident. He is the missing piece in a dangerous game, one that could shatter the fragile wards keeping his new companions safe from the world.

This atmospheric paranormal romance weaves a haunting tale of belonging and desperate survival. As Leo grows closer to the outcasts who have become his only family, he realizes that their monstrous afflictions are as infectious as they are tragic. The bonds of their found-family are tested when a manipulative demon identifies Leo as the key to breaking the town’s protective barrier.

With time running out and an ancient malevolence closing in, Leo must decide if he is willing to sacrifice everything to protect the monsters who finally made him feel human. It is a pulse-pounding journey where magical objects hold lethal secrets and the only way to win is to risk it all for love.
