Description
For Will, the discovery of his fated mate, River, was meant to be the ultimate sanctuary—a promise of stability in a life defined by uncertainty. But their bond is far from a fairy tale. Beneath the surface of their deepening connection lie heavy secrets and suffocating expectations that threaten to fracture their fragile peace. When a moment of raw fear erupts, the trust they spent so long building begins to crumble, just as a darker, external threat begins to coil around them.
The nightmare shifts from personal to existential when Tyler is found clinging to life after a mysterious disappearance. His fragmented memories whisper a terrifying truth: they aren’t just being watched—they are being hunted. Rare and powerful individuals are vanishing, collected like specimens for a sinister purpose. For Ben, realization hits with devastating clarity: he is marked.
When Ben suddenly vanishes into the void, the urgency of their situation shifts from a struggle for love to a race against extinction. In a world where destiny can be weaponized and connections severed by force, Elliot must decide what he is willing to sacrifice. To save the person fate chose for him, he will have to risk everything in a lethal game of survival.
