Overview

When Jaysen Baker returns home for his family-hosted engagement party, a weekend of glasses clinking and old stories shared shatters as the darkest parts of a past he nearly forgot seep back into the edges of his sense of safety-secrets once buried clawing their way up to claim him. As death shakes the small community of Rose River, Jaysen must balance the life he left, the life he chose, and the life he hungers to live, while ancient evils argue over his fate. In the end, he must choose: fight for what remains of himself... or surrender to the rose-sweet threat hiding in every shadow.

Author Information

Adam Colden is a novelist and storyteller whose work blends atmospheric Southern-Gothic sensibilities with a sharp, contemporary voice. Born and raised in the hills of East Tennessee, he grew up surrounded by stories - whispered family lore, church-spoken myths, and the quiet hauntings of small-town life. Those early shadows shaped a writer who understands both the tenderness and the terror of being human.Adam's fiction spans adult fantasy, horror, and mid-grade dark adventure, unified by his signature style: character-driven narratives, vivid emotional landscapes, and a commitment to truth-telling through imaginative worlds. His stories explore identity, trauma, resilience, and the hidden histories beneath ordinary lives. With a storyteller's instinct for tension and a poet's eye for detail, Adam crafts novels that feel achingly intimate even when the stakes turn otherworldly.A self-made creative, he put himself through college and built his career from the ground up, guided by empathy, curiosity, and a belief that stories can carve light into the darkest rooms. His books invite readers into places where magic and memory collide, where every character fights for belonging, and where courage often looks like choosing to keep going.Adam lives in Maryland with his husband and their three beloved pets - Osiris, Onyx, and Jaxon - writing late into the night and shaping worlds that echo long after the final page.
