Salem was supposed to be marrying her fiancé and heading for a tropical honeymoon, but instead she finds herself on a ferry to historic Balfour Manor on Blackridge Island in the Pacific Northwest. Stranded with Rayne, a woman she is irresistibly drawn to, Salem must confront a house full of crimson shadows, strange voices, and secrets as dark as the manor itself.
After a gruesome murder exposes the island’s true nature, every night becomes a fight for survival. Something in the forest is killing indiscriminately, and Rayne and Salem must contend with dangerous secrets and dark magic to stay alive.

The description focuses on a gothic sapphic romance set against supernatural suspense on a remote Pacific Northwest island. Much of the setup centers on two women, Salem and Rayne, their growing attraction, and the external danger posed by a violent force in the forest. The supernatural element appears integral, with crimson shadows, strange voices, and dark magic tied to the house. This may appeal more to someone interested in atmospheric horror that balances intimate relationship conflict with survival threats.
