He offered her everything. She chose to rewrite the rules entirely.
FBI forensic accountant Seraphina Blackwood thought she was investigating simple financial irregularities at Nightshade Imports. She never expected to witness a murder committed with living shadows and starlight, or to catch the attention of Kieran Shadowthorn—the devastatingly beautiful and utterly dangerous Seelie Court operative who should have killed her for what she saw.
Instead, he offers her a choice: death, memory modification, or joining his supernatural organization.
Sera chooses enhancement and employment, but refuses to accept the limitations that come with it.
Her newfound independence comes with deadly complications. Her father's death left her with inherited blood debts to both supernatural courts—gambling money owed to the Seelie Court that he'd borrowed from the Unseelie Court to pay. When the coldly elegant Lysander Nightfall arrives to collect, Sera discovers she's caught between two devastatingly powerful men whose own forbidden blood bond was severed three centuries ago by the same court politics that now threaten her autonomy.
As both men offer her protection in exchange for loyalty, Sera realizes they're not just rivals—they're former lovers whose forced separation has shaped supernatural politics for centuries. When her refusal to choose sides triggers a war between the courts that threatens to tear Manhattan apart and expose the hidden world to humanity, she must find a solution that serves everyone.
The answer isn't choosing between them. It's proving that some partnerships are powerful enough to reshape the laws of reality itself.
In a world where supernatural courts hide among us, three souls will discover that love, power, and independence don't have to be mutually exclusive.
