Alexia must choose safety and an arranged marriage, or true love and being hunted by the Soulless every moonless night.
In the English society of 1768 where women are bred to marry, unattractive
Alexia, just sixteen, believes she will end up alone. But on the county doorstep of a neighbor’s estate, she meets a man straight out of her nightmares, one whose blue eyes threaten to consume her whole world—especially later when she discovers him standing over her murdered host in the middle of the night.
Among the many things to change for her that evening are: her physical appearance—from ghastly to breathtaking, an epidemic of night terrors predicting the future, and the blue-eyed man’s unexpected infusion into her life. Not only do his appearances precede tragedies, but
they’re echoed by the arrival of ravenous, black-robed wraiths on moonless nights.
Unable to decide whether he is one of these monsters or protecting her from them, she uncovers what her father has been concealing: truths about her own identity, about the blue-eyed man, and about love. After an attack close to home, Alexia realizes she cannot keep one foot in her old life and one in this new world. To protect her family she must either be sold into a loveless
marriage, or escape with the man of her dreams and risk becoming one of the Soulless.

DeleteOooh. A very cryptic cover. Love that super-imposed "clock."
ReplyDeleteI love clocks. Always have.

ReplyDeleteI agree.
DeleteThe cover is absolutely hypnotic; I love it. Moonless sounds like such an interesting book and I will definitely be keeping this one in mind. My TBR list seems endless.
ReplyDeleteGina, I know exactly what you mean. There are so many amazing ones out there. I'll get ambitious and knock ten books off the list only to have them replaced by another twenty.
DeleteI hear you both. I usually read more than one book at a time because it makes me feel like I'm making more progress, but I know I'd read each book quicker if I read them separately, so I'm not even fooling myself. ;)
DeleteIntriguing Cover.Congratulations and best of luck to you.
