Arabella Darley was brutally murdered. Young, beautiful, and the mistress of Balfefield Abbey, the violence of her death was matched only by the obscenity in which her naked body was elaborately posed for those who would find her.
In a story that spans Ireland, England, and West Africa, as the nineteenth century turned into the twentieth, journalist Clara Sullivan and Detective Inspector Reginald Keating are ordered to investigate this most barbaric of murders. It is a dangerous time and place for both.
Will either uncover the truth? The whole truth?

The Shadowed Queen
In a kingdom where beauty and power dictate worth, Princess Evelyne has always been the forgotten one. Overshadowed by her radiant sisters, dismissed by her own family, and treated as nothing more than an afterthought, she has learned to live in the shadows-silent, invisible, and aching for something more. But when the feared and ruthless Dark King arrives to choose a bride, no one expects him to spare Evelyne a second glance. He is a man of legend-shrouded in mystery, draped in power, and said to have a heart as cold as the night itself. The court watches, breathless, as he surveys the dazzling princesses before him. And then, he chooses her. Whispers ripple through the halls. Shock turns to outrage. Why would the Dark King-a man who could have anyone-claim the overlooked, unwanted daughter? But as Evelyne is whisked away to his shadowed kingdom, she begins to uncover the truth. The Dark King sees what no one else ever has-her strength, her resilience, the fire beneath the quiet. And in his arms, beneath the weight of his intense gaze, Evelyne is no longer invisible. She is his. But as darkness looms and enemies gather, Evelyne must decide-will she forever remain the forgotten princess, or will she rise as the Dark Queen, feared and revered beside the man who saw her worth when no one else did?
