THE OBSESSION

A Dark Paranormal Romance with a Possessive Shadow Monster and Secret Society By Selene Blackwood

She was never meant to fall in love. She was bred to become a door.

When Clara returns to Blackmoor after her grandmother's death, she expects

grief. What she finds instead is a town built on secrets, a hidden ritual chamber

beneath the church, and a shadow that watches her from the dark.

He is not human. He does not belong to her world.

And he claims she belongs to him.

As Clara uncovers a secret society that has monitored her bloodline for

generations, she learns the truth: women in her family do not disappear. They

are used. Bound. Sacrificed to stabilize a fracture beneath the town.

But Clara is not like the others. When the shadow saves her life, obsession ignites between them.

He was sent to bind her. To test her. To determine whether she could survive awakening.

Instead, he chooses her.

Now ancient forces are stirring. Sovereign shadow beings watch from beyond

the fracture. The town pretends nothing happened while the earth trembles beneath it.

Clara must decide: Seal the darkness alone. Or bind herself to the monster who would burn the world to protect her.

As power shifts and the fracture widens, Clara discovers she is not a vessel for sacrifice.

She is the door.
