THE SHADOW ONE: A Dark Fantasy Paranormal Gothic Romance
About this audiobook
Museum night guard Mara always thought the shadows were empty—until one of them spoke her name.
Corin is the man trapped inside the darkness, bound to a cursed stone and the haunted gallery she patrols. He can only appear when she invites him… and when she does, the night will never be safe again.
When a hungry shadow tears loose from the artifact, Mara and Corin are dragged into a war inside the walls—against the curse, the listening doors, and the pieces of the dark that want to wear her skin.
To save innocent lives, Mara must become the anchor that tethers Corin to the world and the curse back into its prison. But every ritual, every shared breath in the dark, pulls them closer to a bond that could destroy them both—or remake them.
If she chooses him, she chooses the night… and the night is starting to choose her back.
