    Millicent Layne has lived her life in careful quiet—her fangs, and her heart, hidden behind the practiced calm of a noblewoman. When a desperate act to escape an arranged marriage sends her brother missing, she turns to Ellis Dacre, a humble carpenter with calloused hands, a kind soul, and dreams far bigger than their small coastal town.

    As autumn deepens, every misty harbor, cozy inn, and toasty tavern chips away at Millie’s secrets—and at the walls around her heart. Together, she and Ellis uncover a love that defies lifetimes and a conspiracy that could destroy Millie’s entire kind.

    Forbidden love, found family, and slow-burn magic intertwine in this heartfelt romantasy debut where fangs meet fate and tenderness hides behind every danger.
