Clandestine

When a rebellious girl discovers a mysterious boy on the shore of her town's dried up lakebed, she’s drawn to him in ways she can’t explain, even as his thirst for revenge and a spreading illness threaten to consume them both. This horror-romance is perfect for fans of Bitten.

In the small, forgotten lake town of Clandestine, Devan Bond has always felt out of place. Raised by her great aunt and uncle after her mother disappeared, Devan's rebellious spirit has only grown stronger.

When a reckless act leaves her grounded for the summer, she discovers a dark secret buried in the dried-up lakebed—a handsome, mysterious boy named Raze, who harbors a sinister past and a thirst for revenge.

As a strange illness spreads through the town, Devan and Raze's fates become intertwined in a dangerous dance of love and sacrifice. Will they break free from the town's deadly grip, or will they be consumed by the very forces they seek to escape?
