Description

Adoration has a high price.

Celeste is ancient, beautiful, and deadly. Aided by her servant, Clive, she has lived for over 200 years, drawing her life force from the adoration of others—first in her native country of America and, when forced to flee her home there, in London. Now she has a new target for her affections in Sam. And when she invades his dreams and his life in order to seduce him and feed on his desires, she doesn’t reckon on the power of his love for his wife, Marianne, or the terrible price her obsession with him will exact. 

A terrifying novel from the Shirley Jackson and British Fantasy award-nominated Marie O’Regan (Mirror MereIn Times of Want and Other Stories), this will make you think, make you shiver, and make you question your own closest relationships.
