Overview

From viral online writing sensation Alexis Marie comes a lush contemporary fantasy debut that blends a slow-burn romance with mystery and magical intrigue when the lives of a fatally cursed woman and a single father with a complicated past collide--just as their quaint small town becomes a power-hungry serial killer's hunting ground. Veda Thorne is living on borrowed time. After exhausting every magical cure for the fatal curse trapped inside her, she's accepted her fate. But Veda's self-imposed isolation begins to crack when she's asked to tutor Antaris, a child whose pain calls to her own. Hiram Ellis left his wealthy, prejudiced family years ago. Now unexpectedly thrust into single fatherhood, he returns to his hometown, determined to build a life far from the cold privilege that stifled his own childhood. The last thing he expects is to be drawn to the fiercely protective, sharp-tongued woman helping his son. When a trail of enchanted spider lilies leads Hiram and Veda to discover their deadly tie to a prolific serial killer, they're forced to set aside their differences to unearth long-buried secrets. But the truth is as deadly as Veda's curse, and both come at a devastating cost. As victims mount and motives emerge, their greatest challenge is choosing to trust and love each other.

The world is exceptionally textured, familiar yet new, and conveyed to us in prose that is transportive, patient, beguiling.
