Blood Origin: Beginning Of The End (Paperback or Softback)

In Elderfield, secrets don't stay buried-they wait to be awakened.

Talia's life in Elderfield is quiet and comfortably predictable. A literature student at Stoneford University, she spends her days buried in books, her evenings working at the local bookstore, and her nights with the friends who feel more like family. In a town as quaint as Elderfield, nothing ever really changes-until the Grimshaw brothers arrive.

Rhys and Silas Grimshaw take up residence in the long-abandoned Grimshaw Manor, drawing instant attention with their wealth, beauty, and carefully guarded privacy. Talia can't help but be pulled toward Rhys's brooding charm, even as her friends sense something deeply unsettling about the brothers-especially Silas, whose intense gaze seems to linger a moment too long.

Then strange things begin to happen. Animal attacks leave the town on edge. Rumors spread. Friends start acting differently. And when Talia witnesses something she can't explain late one night, she begins to wonder whether Elderfield is hiding more than small-town secrets.

As the town's buried history starts to surface, lines blur between myth and reality, loyalty and danger, truth and survival. Talia is forced to question everything she believes-about her friends, the Grimshaw brothers, and herself.

Because in Elderfield, nothing is as ordinary as it seems... and some awakenings can never be undone.
