A Star's Hidden Fire

In the shadowed corners of North Carolina, Alec exists on the fringe of humanity—a wraith who feeds on corrupted souls to survive. Bound by unyielding rules and haunted by centuries of regret, Alec’s carefully controlled existence begins to crumble when he encounters Azalea “Azzie” Cross, a fiery young woman desperate to escape her suffocating small-town life.

Her soul, brighter than any Alec has ever seen, is untouchable—a dangerous temptation he knows better than to entertain. But her twin brother, Eli, harbors a soul so dark it draws Alec into the tangled web of their lives. As Azzie is pulled deeper into the wraith world and her ambitions spiral into recklessness, Alec finds himself forced to choose between the Rules that have governed his existence and the forbidden desires that threaten to consume him.

But in a world where souls are currency and love is a liability, breaking the Rules comes with a cost. With betrayal lurking in every shadow, the line between human and monster begins to blur. And the secrets they keep from one another may prove deadlier than the lies they tell themselves.

Dark desires. Mortal decisions. Eternal consequences.
