A Date With Teeth

DuPassé has something of a bad reputation, as does its owner. Lucien is mysterious, distant, and quietly feared. Some say people disappear after working at his antique shop. Others say worse. Lucien says nothing. He's lived too long to care what people think, or so he tells himself.

One day, Gabriel walks through his door. Golden-haired, pure-hearted, and disarmingly sincere, Gabriel is everything Lucien is not. When Lucien offers him a job, it isn't out of need-it's something closer to desperation.

Gabriel accepts. And in the shadows of DuPassé, among relics that whisper of darker times, he will discover that some secrets are kept for good reason. In 1920s Paris, where the line between the living and the damned grows thin, Gabriel must choose: flee while he still can, or stay and face whatever lurks behind Lucien's carefully guarded silence.

Some doors once opened, can never be closed again.
