Description

The Sundering killed millions and filled the world with supernatural monsters. It took nearly everything from Adalynn-her dreams, her home, her parents, and her chance of beating her terminal cancer-but it didn't take her little brother, Danny. She's come to terms with her inescapable fate, and she'll do everything she can to ensure her brother has a chance of survival in this new, unforgiving world.

When Danny and Adalynn discover a rundown mansion in the middle of nowhere, it seems like the perfect place for him to stay, but the mansion's owner-a tall, mysterious, intense man who exudes a strangely thrilling energy-complicates matters. Though Adalynn doesn't want to leave another person devastated when she's gone, Merrick has other plans for her-and he makes it clear he will keep her, no matter what price he must pay to make it so.
