Description
Growing up an orphan within Grave’s walls, Nica‘s imagination burned with fantastical stories. When at seventeen, she’s adopted by Mr and Mrs Mulligan, Nica thinks she’s leaving her world of otherworldly tales – and the darkness of the orphanage – behind her.
But the Mulligans also adopt Rigel, an orphan who is as astute and mesmerisingly handsome as he is troubled. They share a past filled with grief and isolation, and the ever-gentle Nica starts to fall for her forbidden love.
Yet something lurks in the darkness between them. Suddenly, the Maker of Tears isn’t just a childhood fantasy. As the spectre of his influence grows increasingly real, a brave Nica is ready to do anything to protect her dream of family and her secret love.
Because Nica knows, only by facing the nightmares that torment her can she finally soar.
As hope flickers in the dark, will she have the courage to grasp it and face her truth?
