Ethan Waite spent most of his life wanting to escape the stuffy small southern town of Gatlin. He never thought that he would meet the girl from his dreams - Lena Duquesne - who would reveal the inaccessible, powerful and cursed side of Gatlin hidden in the usual façade. And he never expected that he would have to abandon everyone and everything he cherished. So when Ethan awakens from the horrific events of the Eighteenth Moon, he has only one goal: to find a way back to Lena and all those he loves. Back in Gatlin, Lena makes her own deals to get Ethan back, vowing to do whatever it takes - even if it means trusting old enemies or risking the lives of the family and friends Ethan left behind to protect. An international bestseller, translated into many languages!
