Whispers in the dark. Green eyes that burn. A name she should never have spoken. Liora thought he was just a dream. Adrian knows better. In the night, he finds her. In shifting shadows, in flickers of candlelight, in the silence that swallows the world whole. He whispers her name, and the sound of it makes her body ache. He is temptation and terror wrapped in one. Dangerous. Forbidden. Impossible. But when the nights bleed into days and Liora starts craving him more than air, she realises this haunting isn't only inside her head. Adrian isn't just a dream. He is something else, something she doesn't understand yet. And some hauntings don't let you wake up.
