Nell Townsend came to Bellwether for a fresh start. She did not come to be claimed by the mothman upstairs.After her marriage implodes, Nell needs three things: a job, an apartment, and a reason to believe her life isn’t permanently stuck in the sad beige aftermath of divorce.Bellwether gives her all three.Her new job is at a paranormal library.

Her new apartment is in Greymarket Towers, a strange, sentient building with excellent amenities and deeply questionable hallway behavior. Her neighbors include humans, cryptids, a grumpy ancient tortoise, and Sig Samora, a beautiful, terrifying mothman who watches her like she’s both a miracle and a warning.Then the red doors appear.The Lustrum is a threshold that changes whoever enters it.

When it tries to take Nell, Sig does the one thing he was never supposed to do: he interferes. He saves her life by claiming her, binding them together in a bond neither of them understands and neither of them can ignore.Now Nell is stuck with a magical connection to a lonely death-omen who may die if she rejects him, a building that keeps meddling, and a body that definitely remembers what happened after the claiming.Sig wants to make things right.

Nell wants her choices back.And somewhere inside Greymarket Towers, the red doors are still waiting.Claimed by the Mothman is a spicy, funny, emotionally tender monster romance featuring a divorced heroine, a devoted mothman Harbinger, forced proximity, found family, a sentient apartment building, and enough supernatural nonsense to make the HOA paperwork deeply concerning.
