Nadia Evegard never knew her parents. Raised by her fiercely protective grandfather, she grew into a striking yet solitary woman, drawing people in with her dark beauty and warm smile while always keeping them at a distance.
After her grandfather's death, Nadia finally learns the disturbing truth about what happened to her parents and why he spent her entire life guarding secrets about her past.
Following his cremation, Nadia leaves the funeral home with the unsettling sense that someone is watching her. Then, armed with a simple gold key, she opens her grandfather's safe-deposit box and unwittingly unlocks a Pandora's box of buried secrets.
A stalker. A myth. A ghost. An ancient evil has been set free.
Nadia's heritage is nothing she imagined. The truth is more than a burden—it is a curse. And the mysterious man she believes has come to destroy her may be the only one who can save her. In him, Nadia finds not her demise, but an unexpected refuge…a sanctuary of the heart…and a love destined to last for eternity.
