Mirelle has spent her life tending the dead and obeying one unbreakable rule: never bury the living.

Then someone leaves a man in her graveyard.

Chained, cursed and meant to disappear beneath the earth, Riven should be nothing more than another dangerous creature for the forest to swallow. Instead, Mirelle pulls him free and discovers something ancient stirring beneath his human skin. Something the surrounding trees seem determined to protect.

As Riven’s true nature begins to emerge, so does an attraction Mirelle knows she should fear. But the deeper she digs into who put him in that grave, the harder it becomes to tell the difference between monster and victim.

Because the forest has its own laws.

And sometimes, the creatures men call monsters are exactly what the wild needs.
