They call me Kallista Nix, but that is not my real name. My past was taken from me, and though I search for it every day for the past five years, all I find are dead ends.Though I search for the Dark Shade, everyone keeps telling me that it doesn’t exist. The darkness, the monsters, the fear—they’re all in my head.I’m tempted to believe them. The Shades are magical safe havens where everyone can be who they truly are without having to hide. Supernaturals of all kinds love them... moreThey call me Kallista Nix, but that is not my real name.

The darkness, the monsters, the fear—they’re all in my head.I’m tempted to believe them. The Shades are magical safe havens where everyone can be who they truly are without having to hide. Supernaturals of all kinds love them. They’re not supposed to be dark.But how can I argue with my own memories?Everything changes when I steal a magical artifact I wasn’t supposed to steal, and now everyone is after me—the biggest werewolf pack in the country, and Alexander King himself.He’s a vampire who works for the highest supernatural authority in the world, a merciless predator, the most beautiful monster you’ll ever see. If I were smart, I’d keep far away from him, especially when he looks at me like he wants to devour me, and my heart trips over itself every time he’s close. But to find out the truth about the Dark Shade, I have no choice but to work with him, even if I might end up imprisoned, dead—or something far worse.I swore to myself that I would do everything it took to find out about my past. But what if the price I have to pay for it is my future? less
