Summary
“It is my turn to beg.” The white in his eyes were blown wide, his jaw slack between her fingers in submission. “I will give you anything. My own blood, my body, my life—it is yours if you save my mother.”
Iva is a young woman whose mother is on the brink of death. A sickness is sweeping the village, and there is no cure for the dying. Desperate and unwilling to leave miracles to God's will, Iva bargains with a Vrakhir for his healing blood.
Binding herself to a monster should end in tragedy, but Coen is strange, and unlike the murderous beings of myth. Through autumn and winter, a deep intimacy begins to grow between them. But the mountains surrounding Laslea hold many secrets, and Iva is unaware of the danger and consequences that await her.
After all, there are devils in Laslea, and they may not have fangs at all.
