The Bloodbound Blackout

The corpse behind the sealed door whispered one name—Elias Morrow—just before he appeared behind Nora with a bloodied ring pressed to her throat. Then the lights died, and the dead began pouring into the city. Elias is the runaway heir of the family that controls the ghost gates, and Nora is the only locksmith who can hear the dead’s final words. To save her missing brother and stop the city from being swallowed, they’re forced into a three-day blood pact—sharing every wound, memory, and forbidden desire. But every secret Elias hides brings Nora closer to the truth: his family may be hunting him, yet the ghost gate is calling for her. When the third night arrives, will Nora break the pact and doom the city—or unlock the gate and discover why the dead have been waiting for her?
