About this book
Desperate to escape her past, a runaway stowaway finds herself shipwrecked in the haunting, fog-drenched town of Port Clyde. What began as a flight from poverty quickly spirals into a nightmare when she discovers the town is not merely isolated, but cursed. Looming over the shore is an onyx lighthouse, a silent sentinel guarding secrets that have festered for centuries.
She soon crosses paths with a brooding, immortal guardian who has spent lifetimes anchored to this godforsaken place. He is a tragic figure, defined by an agonizing, soul-binding love that has spanned eras of heartache. Now that she has arrived, he is determined to possess her, vowing to keep her safe within his beautifully gilded cage, even if it means earning her eternal hatred.

Perfect for fans of gothic aesthetics and found-family narratives, this story explores the thin line between protection and imprisonment.

ARC Review: From the moment I watched a TikTok video describing a gothic, dark vampire Romance book, I knew in my heart this book was meant for me. I immediately went to Amazon to add it to my cart...only to find out it wasn’t released yet and was left heart broken. But then, by some bookish miracle, I was chosen by the author to be an ARC reader, and I couldn’t be more thankful for this opportunity! I was interested from the very beginning. I never felt bored at all.Molly is an incredibly...

The vampire was perfectly tragic and tortured. But while reading the book it was hard to feel connected because of the heavily detailed moments, that although beautiful, lagged momentum.

Now I know this is a dark vampire romance so I should’ve expected it, but it still just felt like something was missing. I...

Elric... unhinged, angsty and yearning for the love he's lost time and time again. The DEFINITION of “Touch her and you'll die”. How could you not love a Vampire MMC who would burn...

I think the idea of this book is amazing. I absolutely am obsessed with it. However, there is definitely room for improvement. The changing of scenes is very choppy and leaves you very confused. There is also a lot of repetitive wording. You’ll read that the main character has copper colored hair SO many times you’ll be a little annoyed. You’ll find things like that throughout the book. I think if the characters were tweaked a little I could have really cared for them. I think this book had an...
