Maren Blackwood restores damaged paintings for a living. When her mentor steals her research and the university buys her silence, she discovers a hunger that ordinary food cannot satisfy.
Eating him brings relief. Keeping herself fed draws her into a world of private galleries, immaculate manners and predators who recognize their own.
Then she meets Silas Thorne. He sees what she is, and he wants her hungry. As a detective closes in, Maren must confront an appetite that is changing more than her body.
