On New Year's Eve, cellist Ariana Vance sought refuge in an abandoned alpine cabin to escape her fractured life. Instead, she awakened something far more dangerous. Her music—a haunting requiem for the dying year—summoned the Grand Veneur: an ancient, exquisite monster who feeds on warmth to maintain his crumbling humanity.

The law is absolute. The barrier breaks on the final stroke of midnight, and what is found belongs to the Hunter. Ariana is now his tithe.

For twelve days, she is bound to the Hinterlands—a realm of swirling auroras, frozen forests, and creatures born from the void itself. Trapped in a castle of black stone with a king of winter who claims her as his anchor, Ariana discovers that survival requires more than defiance. The creature holding her captive is starving not for blood, but for proof that he remains something more than the monster the darkness has made him.

As the veil between their worlds grows perilously thin and paranormal forces circle closer, Ariana realizes that her captor's greatest weakness is also his most dangerous obsession: her. And when a paranormal court threatens to destroy what burns between them, she must choose between the freedom she was promised and the dark, possessive bond that's become her only salvation.

In a realm where monsters wear elegant faces and mercy comes with claws, the most devastating spell is the one binding them together.

Store Description

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.
