When Serayna took the job to clear her family’s debt, the instructions were simple. Watch the tower, report disturbances, then return home.
But she never expected the tower to watch back.
What started as a straightforward task becomes a struggle for survival when she unravels a truth she was never meant to discover.
Demons are real, and the one who has marked her won’t stop until he’s claimed her.
The only thing standing between her and an evil force is the letters from a mysterious stranger that break through her silence and form a connection more dangerous than what lurks in the shadows.
Armed with only a pet rock and a blunt dagger, she now has to fight to find her place in a world she can no longer trust and is forced to decide how much she is willing to risk—and who she will risk it all for.
But no matter which path she chooses, the monsters will always find her.
And the tower is still watching.
“To say I'm obsessed with the characters and this world would be an understatement.”
“What I love the most about this book is the way Jess was able to make Serayna's emotions and thoughts so realistic, even when set in a fantasy world. The longing, the loneliness, the anger, the fear—everything felt so genuine and powerful.”
“I truly enjoyed this book, I had a hard time putting it down.”
“The romance in here is excellent!!! I won’t give anything away, but there is spice, but it is so well done - it is thoughtful and well placed.”
“For a debut, this is such an ambitious story and I think it worked really well.”
“I loved the soldiers the best. Kaelven, Varek, Caleb and Brandon really stole the show for me. I can't wait to see where the story and Jess' writing journey goes because I think a lot of people are gonna like this series.”
