Where the Wind Meets the Dark

Lily Cole Romance

In a quiet coastal village in 1670 Philippines, where the sea carries both trade and fear, strangers are not uncommon...but some are not meant to be found at all.
Amara arrives with no past anyone can trace, claiming to be a distant cousin under the care of a young woman named Mireya. Curious, restless, and drawn to the unfamiliar, she embraces the fragile freedom of the human world...unaware that her presence has already disturbed something older than the forest itself.
Lucian has lived among humans long enough to wear their habits like a second skin. By day, he is just another man in the village. By night, he belongs to something far more dangerous. He knows how to watch, how to wait, how to choose.
And he knows exactly what happens to girls who wander too far.
Amara should have been easy to ignore.
She isn't.
There is something in her that does not belong to the human world...something that calls to him, unsettles him, and refuses to be understood. And no matter how many times he decides to stay away, he finds himself drawn back to her... closer each time.
As whispers of disappearances spread and shadows stretch deeper into the village, their connection becomes harder to deny...and more dangerous to pursue.
Because some meetings are not accidents.
Some are beginnings.
And some are the kind that were never meant to happen twice.
