When I first laid eyes on the imposing castle nestled in the White Mountains of Vermont, I had no idea that my life was about to change forever. As a romance writer, I've written about my fair share of beautiful places, but nothing could have prepared me for the mysteries that lay within those ancient walls - or the enigmatic being who called it home.

Griiq Caind, a massive grendel, was unlike anyone I had ever met. His charcoal gray skin, dark hair, and the two short horns adorning his head spoke of a world beyond my own.
