"As a bestselling romance novelist with a troubled past, all Ruby Holloway ever wanted was a happily-ever-after of her own. But when she and her husband buy their first home, she finds her hopeful reality gripped by a dark force beyond her wildest nightmares... It all started with a book. Delighted to have a real-life author living in their midst, Carolyn Blackhurst can't wait to invite Ruby over for book club. That's when Ruby's introduced to Carolyn's favorite author - 17th century writer Verna Langley. With a giant portrait of the dead woman hung in her reading room, it's obvious Carolyn and her friends are more than mere fans, and after reluctantly taking their recommendation, Ruby soon discovers the haunting reason behind their obsession... A frightening power lies dormant within Verna's pages, waiting centuries for someone like Ruby to crack them open. As her sanity steadily starts to crumble, with her own past demons biting at her heels, now Ruby must stop the power's spread before it consumes everything she holds dear... ...before her happily-ever-after slips away."--Page 4 of cover.
Katharyn Blair crafts a fiercely feminist fantasy with a horrifying curse, swoon-worthy sea captains, and the power of one girl to choose her own fate in this contemporary standalone adventure that's perfect for fans of The Fifth Wave and Seafire, and for anyone who has ever felt unchosen. For Charlotte Holloway, the world ended twice. The first was when her childhood crush, Dean, fell in love—with her older sister. The second was when the Crimson, a curse spread through eye contact, turned the majority of humanity into flesh-eating monsters. Neither end of the world changed Charlotte. She’s still in the shadows of her siblings. Her popular older sister, Harlow, now commands forces of survivors. And her talented younger sister, Vanessa, is the Chosen One—who, legend has it, can end the curse. When their settlement is raided by those seeking the Chosen One, Charlotte makes a reckless decision to save Vanessa: she takes her place as prisoner. The word spreads across the seven seas—the Chosen One has been found. But when Dean’s life is threatened and a resistance looms on the horizon, the lie keeping Charlotte alive begins to unravel. She’ll have to break free, forge new bonds, and choose her own destiny if she has any hope of saving her sisters, her love, and maybe even the world. Because sometimes the end is just a new beginning.

Guided only by his own hands, hunted by otherworldly forces, it's up to him to scour the darkness of his past in search of his own redemption. Only the truth will light the way.
