Lilith Marrow is the art world's most celebrated sculptor. Her marble figures are so lifelike that collectors whisper they must be alive. She has one secret: every statue was once a man in her bed.
She loves them fully, and she loves them until the last breath. Then she keeps them forever in stone.
But when critic Cassian Thorne notices the same faces hiding in her masterpieces, and detective Vera Castellan starts tracing missing men to a gallery wall, Lilith's perfect ritual begins to crack. Worst of all, she meets Elias Wren, the first man she doesn't want to finish.
In a game of desire, obsession, and art, who is the sculptor, and who is the clay?
