When Detective Sarah Chen and her partner Rodriguez investigate the mysterious death of antiquities dealer Marcus Blackwood, they uncover something far more terrifying than murder-a network of cursed mirrors that trap souls at the moment of death and feed on human terror. What begins as a single unexplained death in a Victorian mansion quickly escalates into a nationwide supernatural crisis spanning decades. The mirrors are fragments of an ancient evil, scattered across America by 19th-century collectors, each one claiming victims and growing stronger with every soul it captures. As Chen and Rodriguez dig deeper, they discover they're not just investigating deaths-they're racing to prevent a supernatural entity from achieving enough power to manifest in the physical world. The investigation will cost them everything, requiring the ultimate sacrifice to bind an evil that has been feeding on human fear for centuries. But even after the mirrors are destroyed, their legacy lives on. Someone must stand guard over the remaining fragments, watching for signs that the ancient evil is trying to rebuild itself.

*Heighest ranking 26th in Love, 1st in General Fiction, and 1st in Tragedy, as well as no#1 in mystery* When you're the most feared and powerful Italian Mafia Boss, you cannot have the world know of your existence or of any personal ties you may have. Otherwise bad things tend to happen, and this man learned that lesson the hard way. Now, he refuses to allow anyone close to him, much less get anywhere past his cold exterior. Their story wasn't meant to begin like it did. They weren't meant to meet the way they did. After all, she was only a university student and he was a ghost. Nonexistent, a rumor, a story you told your children at night. But when the most unforeseen circumstances cause their paths to cross, not once, not twice, but thrice--an encounter that ends with the vow of discretion and avoidance. They have no choice but to acknowledge they have to stay away before one of them gets hurt. Which is exactly what happens. This causes another encounter between the two, but this time with a promise of safety and security, because he owes her his life. *** "I say what I mean, and I do what I say." He assured in a low rumbling voice that had her transported back to older times. "And when I say I will keep you safe, believe me, that not even a hair on your head will be touched."
