The House of Rayne

SALEM

I shouldn't be here.

I should be marrying my fiancé, thinking about our honeymoon. Instead, I'm on a boat heading to the old Balfour mansion on Blackridge Island, in the northwestern region of North America. Now, I'm trapped here with Rayne—a woman who attracts me in a way I can't explain. 

Rayne has secrets as dark and mysterious as the old house where she lives. There are shadows that roam the corridors, and strange voices whisper through the night—but she is the one who haunts me most.

After a horrific murder, the island's true face begins to reveal itself, and every night becomes a struggle to survive. There is something lurking in the forest. Something that kills indiscriminately…

And this time, we are the prey.

RAYNE

Death has haunted me since I was a child. My mother's murder and my father's violent death changed me, teaching me how cruel the world can be.

I never had what I wanted until Salem appeared at my door. She is adventurous, beautiful; and if she stays here, she will be cursed. Suddenly, I have something to lose: the woman who brought down my walls and saw through my mask, who showed me that I deserve to be loved.

My family has been buried for a long time, but even the cruelest secrets may have to be unearthed to survive the evil that pursues us. At last, I have something to fight for, and I will do everything I can to save her.
