Three years was long enough to think she was human again. Eva Asada survived the "Aquatic Center Massacre." She testified, she healed, and she built a life out of the wreckage-a coaching career, a loving boyfriend, and a future that felt real. But Julian Kane didn't just hypnotize Eva; he rebuilt her. Beneath the surface of her recovery, the "Standby Protocol" lay dormant, a clinical masterpiece waiting for the right frequency to wake up. When a burner phone begins to thrum and a familiar strobe light flickers, Eva's world dissolves into a nightmare of blood and mechanical obedience. Guided by Kane's vengeful wife, Clara, Eva becomes a silent participant in the destruction of everything she loves. From a horrifying crime scene in her own bedroom to a high-security confrontation with a caged monster, Eva realizes the terrifying truth: The Master is never truly gone as long as the rhythm is still in her head. In a final descent into the "Blue Door" of her subconscious, Eva must face the ultimate choice-fight a battle she has already lost, or surrender to the beautiful, empty void where she is no longer a girl, but a perfect, mindless Asset.

Three years ago a blood‑moon ambush shattered her family and delivered the boy she loved-Prince Takamori Ryo, heir to a hidden vampire enclave-back to a throne he never wanted.

Vienna-fog-drenched, elegant, and hiding more secrets than its gilded facades will ever reveal. When a series of ritualistic murders disturbs the city's winter calm, the case falls to an unlikely investigator: Spiros Freiherr von Welsbach, a sharp-minded homicide commissioner with Greek roots and Austrian nobility in his blood. Culturally torn, emotionally guarded, and brilliant in the shadows, Spiros has one weakness: his past is the one mystery he refuses to face. The killer, however, has other plans. Each crime scene is arranged with chilling mathematical precision-perfect angles, mirrored poses, sacred ratios. Hidden among them: ancient symbols tied to the medieval Order of the Templars, whose influence once reached deep beneath the streets of Vienna. As Spiros deciphers the messages, he is drawn into a clandestine war between old brotherhoods, forgotten crypts, and a truth that has survived centuries. A truth someone is killing to protect. But the most terrifying revelation? The murderer knows his Greek heritage... and the stain his family tried to bury. When the hunt becomes personal, Spiros must confront the ghosts of two cultures-and the darkness of his own legacy-before the Symmetry Killer completes his final design. A chilling, atmospheric thriller steeped in history, mystery, and occult geometry. Perfect for fans of Dan Brown, Umberto Eco, and European noir.
