About this ebook
Dark creatures writhe in the city’s shadows, Claire has seen them and seen their hungry eyes watching her… and waiting.
Claire avoids the darkness and the shadows of the city’s nights because she knows what lurks there.
That was until the night she saw Henry, standing in the darkest shadows watching her, wanting her as much as she wants him. But he is as unwilling to leave the dark as Claire is to enter it.
Will Claire save Henry before the shadows and darkness consume him and he is lost to the darkness forever?

An Undulation of a Shadow’s Edge
Sometimes, Claire glimpsed a world hidden away behind her thoughts. Back there, in the shadows, were those lurking creatures she tried not to think about too often. She knew those dark creatures hid in the shadows behind her. Occasionally, she saw flickers in mirrors and reflected back from the glass she brought up to her lips.
