To Ava, love is about as real as fairytales. But it might be that fairytales, myths, and magic have some truth to them after all — as well as the monsters that lie in the shadows. Or she could just be completely out of her mind.

After a mental breakdown and a move to a new town, everything changes when Ava clashes with a stranger with eyes as black as midnight and a terrifying sinister air. Her wishes to feel something again become granted. But Ava soon learns that not only is he as cold as he is beautiful, but he brings something out of her, stronger than ever, like fuel to fire — something she's desperate to bury. He haunts her dreams and waking life, and staying away becomes harder than she could have ever imagined, risking her life, her humanity, and the people that she cares about. Not to mention the fate of the world.

Layton wants her, and he'll ruin anything to get to her, including himself. But when she turns out to be more than he could have ever imagined, can he compromise his legacy, the only thing that has made sense to him for centuries, in order to keep her?

The farther he goes to possess her, the more he loses possession of himself.

Vitality is an atmospheric and haunting tale with a slow burn, which slowly grows more fantastical as it goes. It is emotionally deep, heavily character driven, and thoughtful with mysteries all the way to the end. The romance is intense, shattering, and will drive a person crazy. Join Ava on this journey as she begins to learn not only of the magical and chaotic world hidden right under her nose, a world beyond imaginations, dreams, and nightmares, but also as she learns how to love again, to form friendships, strength in herself, and the value of pain and fear.
