"If she needs me to kill a man for her on occasion, who am I to say no?" A story of obsession, secrets, and the kind of love that thrives where darkness and light dare to meet. Just outside the little town of Thornveil, lives a silent predator. He speaks through blood--delivering punishment to the men who prey on the vulnerable. He's careful, calculated, and alone. Until her. She's warmth and sunshine, with a smile that never seems to dim. Talkative, curious, and endlessly persistent--she refuses to be pushed away, even when faced with his silence. She chooses to read his eyes and facial expressions, waiting for the moment she can finally hear his voice. But when she stumbles into his hidden room, finding his dark secret, she has to choose between fear and understanding.
