About this item
by Diana Ivan (Author)
Every nightmare has a key. Hers is hidden behind a velvet curtain.
For months, twenty-one-year-old Brooklyn art student Carolina Avenant has been haunted by a single, terrifying premonition: her mother's brutal murder. On her birthday, the vision turns into an agonising reality outside Edom-the city's most exclusive and dangerous nightclub.
Carolina doesn't just find a corpse. She uncovers a legacy of blood, dark secrets, and an iron gateway to a realm she was never supposed to enter.
Plunged into Thalassas, a subterranean prison of obsidian and iron, Carolina discovers the chilling truth: she is not merely human. She is a Hybrid-a rare, forbidden creature bearing both a Hunter's lethal blood and a Warlock's volatile magic. In this decadent "Gilded Cage," humans are nothing more than harvested fuel for the immortal High-Bloods, and Carolina's unique lilac eyes make her the ultimate prize.
To survive, she must navigate the lethal gaze of Alistair Valerius, the silver-eyed Prince of Ruin. Born to a monster and desperate for freedom, Alistair sees Carolina as the weapon he's been waiting centuries to wield. But when an accidental, parasitic bond violently tethers their souls-forcing them to share pain, dark desires, and an insatiable hunger-the line between predator and protector blurs beyond recognition.
With a cataclysmic harvest threatening to spill over into the human world, Carolina faces an impossible choice: surrender to the darkness to become part of the ruins, or let her spark bleed dry in a fight against the very monster she is bound to.
Step through the gate. Embrace the ruin.
