Synopsis

To find solace, they must embrace the shadows.

No one knows much about Sothea, the young Cambodian daughter of the widower who just moved into the old Victorian manor—and that’s saying something for a small rural England town that has nothing better to do than gossip. But under her father’s intense care, she is protected. She is sheltered. She is hidden. For her own good.

The only one who can get close is Gabe, the shy contractor working to restore her house, who is instantly captivated by her quiet demeanor and almost ghostly features. And for Sothea, she can’t help but be drawn to his passion and imagination.

But amidst their secret trysts, it’s clear Sothea’s not the only newcomer. Dark and dangerous, a monstrous figure plagues their small town by night, leaving behind death and rot. Despite Gabe’s best efforts, he can’t stop the whispers that Sothea’s family has somehow cursed them all.

Suddenly, it’s a race to uncover the truth—in their town and in their hearts—before darkness comes to claim.

From bestselling author Jon Smith comes a chilling atmospheric tale infused with contemporary gothic vibes, Khmer folklore, and the sweeping fantasy of King Arthur legend.
