Anja was a good wife. A quiet one. The kind who learns to disappear.

Then Ben's carelessness costs her everything, and a stranger starts leaving notes. Ash-haired, grey-eyed, and watching her the way no one ever has: like he already knows what she is.


What Anja doesn't know is what Daniel does for a living. What Daniel doesn't know is that watching him kill is what will make her fall for him.

She tells herself she's only studying him. Only learning the shape of the thing that scares her. But something in her has already started to change — and by the time she understands what she's become, it's far too late to go back.


Monsters aren't born. They're made. By careless hands.


A dark, obsessive descent into what happens when a survivor stops surviving and starts becoming exactly what broke her. Book One of the Silverbrook Duology.
