Description
A dying boy. A rebellious girl. A future worth fighting for.
Left for dead at the edge of an outlawed town, Nicholas never expected to wake up—or to be rescued by a human girl. Fevered, fragile, and hiding a dangerous truth, he knows her kindness could get her killed… if she knew what he really was.
But Rose doesn’t care about rules. Not even her uncle Roland’s. Especially not when she recognizes the sickness Nicholas is battling—because she survived it too. Against all warnings, she nurses the boy back to health, determined to give him a chance at life… and maybe something more.
Roland, however, has secrets of his own. When he discovers the truth about Nicholas, he sees an opportunity—and a threat. Desperate to control the situation, he turns the boy into a test subject in a dangerous game that could reignite the past.
As Rose and Nicholas grow closer, their love becomes a fragile thread stretched between loyalty and survival. And when the truth surfaces, everyone will have to choose between what’s right—and what’s safe.
Vermin is the hauntingly romantic first book in a YA dark fantasy series, weaving slow-burn passion, supernatural suspense, and gothic atmosphere into a story about identity, sacrifice, and the courage to rewrite fate.
