Some destinies are written in blood. Hers was never meant to survive. Vera Flores thought heartbreak was the end of her story-until she found a child with crimson eyes and a name whispered in ancient tongues. Ten years later, Vera runs a quiet bookstore in Newark, hiding scars beneath magic-laced coffee, midnight rituals, and soft jazz that keeps the past at bay. But prophecy doesn't care about peace. When a forgotten god begins to rise, and old bloodlines awaken-vampires, witches, dragons, and fae-Vera is forced to face the truth: She isn't just part of the prophecy. She may be the one who started it. And if the god hunting her wins, she won't just lose her life. She'll lose her daughter.
