Katalepsis

Heather Morell has spent her life haunted—by schizophrenia’s hallucinations, by grief, by the nagging certainty that her twin sister existed despite all evidence to the contrary. Then she meets Raine, a self-styled bodyguard with a sharp smile, and Evelyn, a prickly magician who smells of old books. They tell her the truth: the monsters she sees are real, the god whispering in her nightmares is offering power, and her sister might still be alive—somewhere beyond the edges of reality. Thrust into a hidden world of eldritch magic and murderous cults, Heather struggles to survive, to cling to sanity, and to untangle her growing feelings for women who thrive in the dark. But not all monsters are cruel. Some wear elegant dresses and sip tea while discussing the end of the world. Some might even understand her better than any human ever could. Now Heather must decide how far she’ll go to reclaim the sister she wasn’t supposed to remember—and what she’s willing to become in the process.
