Some things are best left undisturbed for a reason. Especially ones that are buried in the ground. 

Thirteen years after the incident at Winchester Manor, Mallory Winchester resides with her uncle and his family. She is to wed a baron. However, Mallory faces betrayal. Desperate, she sets out looking for the buried artefact that she once believed was a joke told by her grandmother. 

But what do you do if you don't find the object, but a person instead? And not just any person, but an immortal being who was never meant to see daylight ever again. 

Mallory is convinced that whoever created Hadeon Van Doren must have mixed in generous doses of evil, sadistic nature, and dangerously handsome looks. Now, besides her initial problem, she must find a manual to tame this person who is looking at her as if she is his next meal, as well as tame her.

The thought of death patiently waiting to knock on her door stirred a churning unease in the pit of Mallory's stomach. Her life felt like a can of troubles, each one tumbling out in relentless succession, as if all sought to find their resolution only in the icy grasp of death—a fate for which she was unprepared. A nervous laugh escaped her lips, which was shaky.

"I guess no one is going to be haunted by me then," Mallory said, attempting to mask the fear she felt.

"And to think I had already made plans for the future," Hadeon murmured with a look of disappointment. "It looks like there's no other way but to find the ghoul and end it."

Solution for the no soul
