About
In the glittering ballrooms of Regency London, the most dangerous predators don't wear silk.Eleanor Vane was once the darling of the ton, but her father's scandalous ruin transformed her into a "shadow", a disgraced lady's companion dressed in river-mud brown. But Eleanor has a secret far more dangerous than her family's debt: she has The Sight.Since she was twelve, she has seen monstrous, ink-like creatures that feed on human essence, leaving their victims empty shells of their former selves. When a life-threatening encounter in a moonlit garden brings her face-to-face with Frederick Montford, the Duke of Montford, Eleanor's world shifts forever.Known as the "Marble Duke" for his cold, unyielding demeanor, Frederick is the head of an ancient family of hunters who have guarded London against the Hollow for generations. He recognizes her for what she truly is, a once-in-a-generation weapon of pure light. But the power that makes her Frederick's greatest ally also makes her the shadows primary target. Under the Duke's relentless training, Eleanor must learn to control the fire in her blood before it consumes her. As the "Marble Duke's" mask begins to crack, Eleanor finds herself caught between a deadly supernatural war and a forbidden attraction that hums with the intensity of a supernova.In a city of gaslights and secrets, the choice is simple: burn bright enough to end the darkness, or let the shadows take everything.
