Sarah
I tried to escape my past, but the shadows of my sins follow me even to the New World.
Jamestown is supposed to be a fresh start, but the moment we stepped off that boat, I know it won’t be.
Creatures like us never get a fresh start.
My sister, Elizabeth, is a storm of blood and fire—reckless, dangerous, and far too beautiful for her own good. From the moment we arrive, she has her eyes on a wealthy plantation owner—the most handsome man in town.
Until he chooses me.
And now I’m terrified. Because he can never know the truth. If he ever finds out, we could all be destroyed.
But he’ll be expecting a child, an heir, something I can never give him. How long can I keep up the charade?
And what of Elizabeth’s jealous nature? Will she be our undoing?
In the shadows of Jamestown, dark forces stir, and soon Rafe will see me for what I truly am. Will he still love me—or will he see the monster I’ve tried so desperately to hide?

Rafe
Sarah is everything I never expected—intense, beautiful, and with a depth that pulls me in like nothing I’ve ever felt before. But there’s a darkness in her eyes that tells me she’s keeping something from me, something important.
I don’t know if it’s fear or shame, but I know there’s more to her than what she’s shown me. And as much as I want to believe in what we have, the weight of her lies could break everything we’ve built.
I’m no stranger to secrets. My own could destroy us both. But when the truth comes out, can we survive it? Or will the darkness swallow us whole?
