Ava should be dead.
For six seconds, her heart stopped after a devastating accident - and something followed her back.
Now her shadow no longer behaves like a shadow. It lingers. It reacts to her fear. It protects her. And sometimes... it feels more alive than the people around her.
As Ava struggles to understand what happened to her during the moment between life and death, the world around her begins to fracture. Shadows slip. Light hesitates. People lose parts of themselves without noticing.
And the presence bound to Ava grows stronger - a being born of darkness, fire, and a promise made long before she can remember.
He is not human.
He is not a monster.
And he chose her long before she ever saw him.
Before Us is the first book in a dark, emotional paranormal romance series about memory, survival, and the terrifying intimacy of being seen by something that should not exist.
