forword.

Katherine Wheeler never wanted to come back to Hawkins - not after what happened to Billy Hargrove. But when her mom gets sick, she's pulled back into the cursed town that swallowed her brother whole. At 20, she's still searching for a place to belong - lost in books, late-night walks, and heartbreaks that never seem to heal.

She wasn't expecting the nightmares to start again.
She wasn't expecting Vecna.
And she definitely wasn't expecting Steve Harrington.

In a town where monsters hunt from the shadows and secrets drown deeper than the lake, love might be the most dangerous thing of all.
