Residing on the edge of lands cursed and haunted by a headless rider who hunts the living during every full moon, Khalida and her father live a peaceful life. Cohabiting with the supernatural, they run a small inn that acts as the only safe haven for travelers wise enough not to trespass the forsaken lands when the monster roams. Despite the danger lurking just beyond the cobblestone bridge, Khalida’s days pass in a quiet, happy rhythm as she cares for her father and the patrons of the inn. But when a prince’s ambition shatters the fragile balance between the living and the dead, the peace they have built begins to crumble, and Khalida is forced to confront stirrings deep within herself, a longing she has never recognized, in a world she never knew existed, all while in the arms of the very spirit she once feared and tangled in a love that defies life and death.
