He came from the dark to claim what is his—and now he’s inside me, body and soul.
They say the Blackwood is cursed. That something monstrous lives beneath its roots, hungry for blood… or worse.
Isla, a stubborn, solitary hedge-witch, doesn’t believe in town superstitions. But when a dying animal leads her into the forest on the full moon, she crosses a line that can’t be undone.

And in the ritual he demands, there is no safe word. Only surrender.
