Casilda has had enough of the big city—its hollow relationships, its polished surfaces, its fake version of connection. She returns to the small town of her childhood, hoping to breathe real air, grow real food, and become a more authentic version of herself. But the town offers something she never expected: Konstantin.

They meet by accident during a late-night swim, beneath red and turquoise neon lights. He says almost nothing. He is not her type. Yet from that moment, Casilda cannot stop feeling his eyes on her—even when she is alone in her apartment, even in the dark. She starts losing sleep. She questions her sanity. Then comes the night she feels him inside her head, without him ever touching her. The feelings leave her terrified, bonded to him on a level she cannot undo.

Her old life pulls back hard. Dr. Grundlos is everything Konstantin is not: warm, normal, available. Her friends warn her that Konstantin is creepy, dangerous, maybe even a stalker. Casilda agrees with them in her mind. But her heart keeps dragging her back to the silent, dark man who watches from the shadows.

When a supernatural threat corners her in a ruined house, Konstantin appears and destroys it—without killing, but with a power that terrifies and thrills her. She now knows he is not human. She also knows she does not care. Their first kiss in the community herb garden could destroy her reputation. Their half-clothed encounter at the forest edge could destroy the supernatural balance. And their final union will change reality itself. But is he saving her—or consuming her?
