Charlotte Duval has lived in hiding the last five years. Her quiet life is interrupted when her past shows up on her door step, forcing her to face her worst nightmares. Suddenly, Charlotte finds herself swept away to an ominous chateau in France by the one person she tried to forget. Henri, her first love, has been doing research that has brought about unwanted attention, leaving Charlotte in danger and with more questions than answers. She is forced to wait, living with the chateau's residents, while the mystery of Henri's research unfolds around her.
Charlotte soon finds her hosts know more about her past than she’d like and carry secrets of their own. Aydin Thanos, the power behind security assigned to Charlotte, is a quiet and menacing force. One she discovers, she can't stop thinking of, leaving her budding romance with Henri in jeopardy.
While in France, Charlotte discovers a dark world she never knew existed. Aydin is not what he appears to be and neither is Henri. Soon their secrets come to light and she finds herself immersed in a world shrouded in shadow, threatening to consume her.
