She buried her nightmares. The shadows remembered. Her past is coming back for her.

Annabelle believed she had finally escaped her past.

With a powerful nocturnal elixir, she buried the nightmares that haunted her and built the life she always dreamed of, a loving husband, a beautiful daughter, and a kingdom at peace.

For years, the potion gave her the storybook life she thought she had lost forever.

Until it began to fail.

Now the memories are returning, and the darkness she tried to drown is rising with them.

While Rivers Peak's supernatural protectors remain unaware, something far more dangerous is already moving through the shadows. Vampires, Fae, and magic-wielders will soon discover that the enemies they thought they defeated were only the beginning.

As Justin, Maurelle, Hunter, and the others are drawn back into a war they never truly escaped, old secrets begin to surface and alliances are pushed to their breaking point.

And at the center of it all is Annabelle, caught between the life she created and the past she tried to forget.

The line between dreams and reality is beginning to disappear.

Because the darkness isn't coming anymore...

It has already begun.
