BACK OF BOOK BLURB
Come to me, little raven.
Come on your own feet, with your own heartbeat trembling for me.
I don’t want to steal you, Tess Winters.
I want you to offer yourself up.
Tess Winters has always heard the call of the wild.
At first it’s only in dreams-shadowy forests, antlers crowned in moonlight, eyes watching her from between the pines. Then the visions start bleeding into daylight. A Leshy in the treeline. Fae shadows in every reflective surface. Whispers that sound like her name when the wind moves through the branches.
They’re calling her home.
To a cursed forest she’s never walked… and an ancestral power she’s never learned to control.
In the heart of that forest, the god who rules the Wild Hunt waits. Antlers like a crown, pan flute at his lips, he remembers every lifetime Tess has tried to forget. He remembers the witch who once rode at his side, and he’s done watching from the dark.
Now he wants his prey back.
Tess is about to learn that the monsters in the stories are real, the fae still bargain in blood, and the Huntsman who stalks her dreams doesn’t just want her fear.
He wants her choice.
He wants her power.
And he won’t stop until Tess Winters steps willingly into the woods… and into his arms.
