I've spent my life in the Borderlands with no feeling. I am half a ghost, born with half a soul and numb because of it. On my 22nd birthday, I'm bound for the Sacrifice in the Wailing Woods and come face to face with the dragon god of the monsters-only to discover I can feel him.

Bestselling Kindle Vella author Emily Shore brings you a dark fantasy romance inspired by the myth of Cupid and Psyche. If you love fast-burn dark romance, morally gray monster gods, and the sassy sweetheart they'll burn worlds for, you will fall hard for touch-starved Quintessa and her beastly boys. Perfect for fans of the Vicious Lost Boys Series.
***The Sacrifice includes a trauma-healing theme loosely based on the author's overcoming journey.
